Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Computational Modeling of the Chlamydial Developmental Cycle Reveals a Potential Role for Asymmetric Division

mSystems, 2023
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that progresses through an essential multicell form developmental cycle. Infection of the host is initiated by the elementary body (EB).

Toward a Politics of (In)Fertility: Reproductive Debility in Africa

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa has some of the highest estimated rates of infertility or involuntary childlessness in the world, leading epidemiologists to refer to parts of the region as the “infertility belt.” The medicalization of infertility and the situating of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) as the treatment for infertility have siphoned ...

Chlamydia and Young People: Knowledge, Behaviour and Risk Taking:Public Health Perspectives. [PDF]

, 2012
Background Chlamydia screening is an international strategy used to reduce rates of infection in a target population. This thesis set out to explore the behaviour of young people against the principles of this government strategy for infection control ...

FactSheet: Chlamydia [PDF]

New South Wales Public Health Bulletin, 2002
Chlamydia is a sexually transmissible infection that can affect both men and women. It is caused by bacterium. Many people who are infected with the bacterium do not have symptoms of infection but can still transmit the bacterium. Chlamydia can affect the urethra (the urine passage), cervix (the neck of the womb), rectum and anus, throat, and eyes ...

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Prevalence of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection among patients attending a gynecological clinic in a tertiary hospital

Sahel Medical Journal, 2019
Background: Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common cause of sexually transmitted infections in the world. The organism causes silent infection in women and could remain unnoticed for a very long time. Nearly 80% of women are asymptomatic.

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CCDC189 Cause Human Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia by Disrupting Sperm Flagellar and Acrosomal Architecture

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.

Father–Son Comparison of Reproductive Traits

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Little is known about the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors on male reproductive function. Objectives We studied in a cross‐sectional setting, whether testicular function and genital size correlate in father–son pairs.

, 2011
BACKGROUND: The clinical signs of active trachoma are often present in the absence of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection in low prevalence and mass treated settings.
