Culture filtrate protein 32 as a potential target to attenuate the heterogeneous antibody response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigens in different endemic settings

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2022
Background: We previously reported the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulence factor – culture filtrate protein 32 (CFP32).

Socioeconomic indicators are strong predictors of hepatitis A seroprevalence rates in the Middle East and North Africa

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017
The goal of this analysis was to examine the association between age-specific hepatitis A virus (HAV) seroprevalence rates and various socioeconomic indicators within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We conducted a systematic review of all

canaper: Categorical analysis of neo- and paleo-endemism in R

Ecography, 2022
Abstract Biodiversity has typically been quantified using species richness, but this ignores evolutionary history. Due to the increasing availability of robust phylogenies, methods have been developed that incorporate phylogenetic relationships into quantification of ...

Attitudinal analysis of vaccination effects to lead endemic phases

Scientific Reports, 2023
Abstract To achieve endemic phases, repeated vaccinations are necessary. However, individuals may grapple with whether to get vaccinated due to potential side effects. When an individual is already immune due to previous infections or vaccinations, the perceived risk from vaccination is often less than the risk of infection.

India may need an additional metric to assess the endemicity of malaria in low surveillance districts.

PLOS Global Public Health, 2022
India's National Framework for malaria elimination is essentially dependent on Annual Parasite Incidence (API). API is the primary criterion for classifying states and districts into different categories: intensified control, pre-elimination, elimination,

A generalized cholera model and epidemic–endemic analysis

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2012
The transmission of cholera involves both human-to-human and environment-to-human pathways that complicate its dynamics. In this paper, we present a new and unified deterministic model that incorporates a general incidence rate and a general formulation of the pathogen concentration to analyse the dynamics of cholera.

Pediatric Histoplasmosis in an Area of Endemicity: A Contemporary Analysis

Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2018
A high index of suspicion for histoplasmosis is required for its diagnosis. A combination of tests, including serology, urine and blood antigen measurements, and culture, should be performed to optimize the diagnostic yield in pediatric patients suspected of having histoplasmosis.
