Policy Implications of the Southern and Central Africa International Center of Excellence for Malaria Research: Ten Years of Malaria Control Impact Assessments in Hypo-, Meso-, and Holoendemic Transmission Zones in Zambia and Zimbabwe
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2022 Oct 11;107(4_Suppl):68-74. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-1288. Print 2022 Oct 11.ABSTRACTThe International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) were established by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases more than a decade ago to provide multidisciplinary research support to malaria control programs worldwide, operating in endemic areas and contributing technology, expertise, and ultimately policy guidance for malaria control and elimination. The Southern and Central Africa ICEMR has conducted research across three main sites in Zambia and Zimbabwe that differ in ecology, ent...

Long-term Adherence to Imported Fire Ant Subcutaneous Immunotherapy
CONCLUSION: This study showed poor long-term adherence to IFA IT at 3- and 5-years. Initial sting severity, buildup protocol and concurrent flying Hymenoptera VIT were predictors for long-term IT adherence.PMID:36162620 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.09.020

There ’s a shortage of monkeypox vaccine. Could one dose instead of two suffice?
As the monkeypox outbreak grows, the preferred vaccine to combat it is in short supply—a problem that’s only getting worse now that countries are expanding access to the vaccine. But there is a strategy that could double overnight the number of people who can be vaccinated: use a single shot instead of the recommended two.
Compelling data from monkey and human studies suggest a single dose of the vaccine—produced by Bavarian Nordic and sold under three different brand names—solidly protects against monkeypox, and that the second dose mainly serves to extend the durability of protection.

Eleven days after being bitten by one of her pet prairie dogs, a 3-year-old girl in Wisconsin on 24 May 2003 became the first person outside of Africa to be diagnosed with monkeypox. Two months later, her parents and 69 other people in the United States had suspected or confirmed cases of this disease, which is caused by a relative of the much deadlier smallpox virus. The monkeypox virus is endemic in parts of Africa, and rodents imported from Ghana had apparently infected captive prairie dogs, North...

Allergenome profiling of Vespa orientalis venom by serum IgE in patients with anaphylactic reaction to this hornet sting
CONCLUSIONS: Broadening our knowledge of V. orientalis venom constituents can contribute to improvements in diagnostic and immunotherapeutic techniques, both of which are dependent on the major allergens in venom extract. This information is also potentially helpful to develop medical uses of major allergens in this venom to improve the diagnostic specificity and the efficacy of immunotherapy.PMID:35613656 | DOI:10.1016/j.toxicon.2022.05.039

Cutaneous Allergic reactions to pine processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopoea Pityocampa): a complicated cutaneous reaction in an infant and review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: Pine processionary (PP) is an important irritant and allergen especially in endemic areas like Cyprus which is a Mediterranean Country. It must be kept in mind in case of local or generalized urticaria, dermatitis, bullae and other allergic reactions even if there had been no direct contact with PP. Systemic involvement with fever and elevated acute phase reactants in infancy may necessitate hospitalization and intravenous treatment. Hereby, we reported an infant who presented with fever in addition to severe cutaneous lesions following the exposure to TP without direct contact. This is the first case reported...
