Development of CRISPR/Cas13a-based assays for the diagnosis of Schistosomiasis
EBioMedicine. 2023 Jul 22;94:104730. doi: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2023.104730. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is a disease that significantly impacts human health in the developing world. Effective diagnostics are urgently needed for improved control of this disease. CRISPR-based technology has rapidly accelerated the development of a revolutionary and powerful diagnostics platform, resulting in the advancement of a class of ultrasensitive, specific, cost-effective and portable diagnostics, typified by applications in COVID-19/cancer diagnosis.METHODS: We developed CRISPR-based diagnostic platform SHERLO...

What We Lost in the Fire: Endemic Tropical Heart Diseases in the Time of COVID-19
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Feb 6:tpmd220514. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0514. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly influenced the effort to achieve global health equity. This has been particularly the case for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria control initiatives in low- and middle-income countries, with significant outcome setbacks seen for the first time in decades. Lost in the calls for compensatory funding increases for such programs, however, is the plight of endemic tropical heart diseases, a group of disorders that includes rheumatic heart disease, Chagas disease, and endomyocardial fibrosis....

Challenges in Understanding the Bionomics of Indian Malaria Vectors
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2022 Sep 12:tpmd220137. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0137. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany factors influence the success or failure of malaria vector control program such as political will, leadership, sustained funding, robustness of healthcare system and others. In addition, updated knowledge and information about the triad of host, parasite, and vector is of paramount importance. Vector bionomics studies that determine mosquito behavior in terms of feeding, resting, biting, mating, breeding, longevity, vectorial capacity, and response to different insecticides are a step toward enhancing our understanding...
