Metagenomic Analysis of Bacteria, Fungi, Bacteriophages, and Helminths in the Gut of Giant Pandas

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
To obtain full details of gut microbiota, including bacteria, fungi, bacteriophages, and helminths, in giant pandas (GPs), we created a comprehensive microbial genome database and used metagenomic sequences to align against the database.

Transformative Approaches in Transitioning to a Circular Sanitation Bioeconomy in South Africa: A Scoping Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transitioning from linear flow resource management practices to a circular sanitation bioeconomy needs a transformative approach. In South Africa, the management of human excreta through resource recovery and reuse (RRR) has been widely researched and piloted.

Prevalence and Intensity of Soil-Transmitted Helminths and Associated Factors among Adolescents and Adults in Bibugn Woreda, Northwest Ethiopia: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2021
Background. Soil-transmitted helminths are a common public health problem in Ethiopia, affecting all age groups. However, epidemiological studies and interventions primarily target school-age children, despite the fact that 44.6 million adults live in ...

Point-of-care mobile digital microscopy and deep learning for the detection of soil-transmitted helminths and Schistosoma haematobium

Global Health Action, 2017
Background: Microscopy remains the gold standard in the diagnosis of neglected tropical diseases. As resource limited, rural areas often lack laboratory equipment and trained personnel, new diagnostic techniques are needed.

Late Pleistocene to Holocene sedimentation in the Great Blue Hole (Lighthouse Reef, Belize): Results from a 30 m long core

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A 30 m long sedimentary succession at the bottom of the Belize Blue Hole represents terrestrial cenote (12.5–7.2 ka BP), restricted marine swamp (7.2–5.7 ka BP) and fully marine lagoonal phases (5.7–0 ka BP) on Lighthouse Reef carbonate platform. Post‐glacial and Holocene sea‐level rise largely controlled the sedimentological, faunal and floral changes

Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract as modulators of immunity and pathology

American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2017
Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world. Many of the most common helminths establish themselves in the

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...
