Robert Hertz, Anthropophagic Practices and Traditional South Fore Mortuary Rites in Papua New Guinea
Omega (Westport). 2024 Mar 8:302228241239210. doi: 10.1177/00302228241239210. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this paper we examine the traditional mortuary rites of the South Fore people of Papua New Guinea using Robert Hertz's theory of secondary burial and the three mechanisms of mourning identified by Daniel Lagache. The ethnographic data that we obtained on South Fore interpretations of their own mortuary rites showed that all forms of corpse handling achieved the same end results through the process of secondary burial. Furthermore, the three mechanisms of mourning applied equally to all forms of corpse disposal and...

Prevalence and determinants of not testing for HIV among young adult women in Papua New Guinea: findings from the Demographic and Health Survey, 2016-2018
Conclusions
Our study found a very high unmet need for HIV testing among young adult women in PNG. Health promotion programmes should be designed to increase HIV knowledge and access to testing services, particularly targeting young women who are disadvantaged and from rural areas. (Source: BMJ Open)

Chronic malaria exposure is associated with inhibitory markers on T cells that correlate with atypical memory and marginal zone-like B cells
Clin Exp Immunol. 2024 Feb 22:uxae015. doi: 10.1093/cei/uxae015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic immune activation from persistent malaria infections can induce immunophenotypic changes associated with T cell exhaustion. However, associations between T and B cells during chronic exposure remain undefined. We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells from malaria-exposed pregnant women from Papua New Guinea and Spanish malaria-naïve individuals using flow cytometry to profile T cell exhaustion markers phenotypically. T cell lineage (CD3, CD4, CD8), inhibitory (PD1, TIM3, LAG3, CTLA4, 2B4) and senescence (CD28-) mar...

Super-additive cooperation
Nature, Published online: 21 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07077-wModels show that human cooperation cannot evolve reliably under repeated interactions or under intergroup competitions, but combining the two mechanisms predicts a distinctive strategy, observed experimentally in Papua New Guinea, in which individuals exhibit cooperative reciprocity with ingroup partners and uncooperative reciprocity with outgroup partners.

Burden of Submicroscopic Plasmodium Infections and Detection of kelch13 Mutant Parasites in Military and Civilian Populations in Papua New Guinea
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Feb 20:tpmd230508. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0508. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMalaria remains a major public health problem in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and an important force health protection issue for both PNG and Australian Defence Forces. To investigate the malaria burden in the military and civilians residing on military bases, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in April 2019 at three military bases in Wewak, Manus Island, and Vanimo, PNG. A total of 1,041 participants were enrolled; 235 military personnel from three bases and 806 civilians from Wewak and Vanimo. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR...
