Marine biogeographic realms and species endemicity

Nature Communications, 2017
Marine biogeographic realms have been inferred from small groups of species in particular environments (e.g., coastal, pelagic), without a global map of realms based on statistical analysis of species across all higher taxa.

Hyperendemicity and genotype diversity of hepatitis B virus among patients attending the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Nigeria

GMS Hygiene and Infection Control
Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a significant global public health issue, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, due to inadequate healthcare and research into its genetic epidemiology. This study aims to determine the frequency of HBV

An empirical method to estimate the effect of soil on the rate for transmission of damping‐off disease

, 2004
The ability of some soils to suppress soil-borne diseases has been long recognised, but the underlying epidemiological mechanisms by which this occurs are largely unknown.• Using damping-off disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani, spreading through ...

Low-Grade Endemicity of Opisthorchiasis, Yangon, Myanmar

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We performed an epidemiologic survey of opisthorchiasis in Yangon, Myanmar. The fecal egg-positive rate of residents was 0.7%, and we recovered an adult fluke after chemotherapy and purging of an egg-positive resident.

Association of Antibiotic Resistance, Cell Adherence, and Biofilm Production with the Endemicity of Nosocomial Klebsiella pneumoniae

BioMed Research International, 2018
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of multiple nosocomial infections, some of which are associated with high mortality. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains highlights their clinical importance and how complicated managing ...

Limitations of Rapid Diagnostic Testing in Patients with Suspected Malaria: A Diagnostic Accuracy Evaluation from Swaziland, a Low-Endemicity Country Aiming for Malaria Elimination

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
Summary In a low-endemicity/malaria elimination setting, we demonstrate limited sensitivity of Plasmodium falciparum–specific rapid diagnostic testing for suspected malaria, owing to unexpected low-density infections.
