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 ...

The role of tryptophan in Chlamydia trachomatis persistence
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is the most common etiological agent of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and a worldwide public health issue. The natural course with C. trachomatis infection varies widely between individuals.

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.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 For intracellular Chlamydiaceae, there is no need to withstand osmotic challenges, and a functional cell wall has not been detected in these pathogens so far. Nevertheless, penicillin inhibits cell division in Chlamydiaceae resulting in enlarged aberrant

Same‐night PrEP in community care: The Nightcafé model for male and transgender sex workers
HIV Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Despite high risk of HIV infection, uptake of pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) remains limited among male and transgender sex workers (MSW and TSW), and data on tailored interventions to improve access are scarce. The Nightcafé programme addresses this gap by offering low‐threshold PrEP provision in a community‐centred setting ...

Persistent Chlamydial Envelope Antigens in Antibiotic‐Exposed Infected Cells Trigger Neutrophil Chemotaxis [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1999 An in vitro coculture model system was used to explore conditions that trigger neutrophil chemotaxis to Chlamydia trachomatis infected human epithelial cells (HEC-1B). Polarized HEC-1B monolayers growing on extracellular matrix (ECM) were infected with C. trachomatis serovar E. By 36 h, coincident with the secretion of chlamydial lipopolysaccharide and
