Density dependence and the control of helminth parasites.

open access: yes, 2006
1. The transient dynamics and stability of a population are determined by the interplay between species density, its spatial distribution and the positive and negative density-dependent processes regulating population growth. 2.

How can onchocerciasis elimination in Africa be accelerated? Modelling the impact of increased ivermectin treatment frequency and complementary vector control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Great strides have been made toward onchocerciasis elimination by mass drug administration (MDA) of ivermectin. Focusing on MDA-eligible areas, we investigated where the elimination goal can be achieved by 2025 by continuation of current ...

Association between altered cognition and Loa loa microfilaremia: First evidence from a cross-sectional study in a rural area of the Republic of Congo.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
BackgroundIndividuals with high Loa loa microfilarial densities are at risk of developing severe encephalopathy after administration of antiparasitic drugs. Apart from this finding, loiasis is considered benign with no effect on brain function.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Filarial antigenemia and Loa loa night blood microfilaremia in an area without bancroftian filariasis in the democratic republic of Congo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Implementation of mass drug administration for lymphatic filariasis (LF) has been delayed in central Africa because of incomplete mapping and coendemic loiasis. We mapped two regions in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo that were suspected to have LF.

Aminoisothiazolamides, a new class of potent inhibitors of lysyl‐tRNA synthetase

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3956-3983, July 2025.
The present work covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess an aminoisothiazolamide scaffold as a structural key feature. Lysyl‐tRNA synthetase 1 (KRS1) was identified as the biochemical mode‐of‐action. Based on optimized and tailored synthetic approaches, a broader SAR study was carried out delivering some lead structures that ...

Evaluation of LAMP for the diagnosis of Loa loa infection in dried blood spots compared to PCR-based assays and microscopy

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2022
BACKGROUND Loa loa is a filarial species found exclusively in West and Central Africa. Microscopy is the traditional diagnosis method for human loiasis. Several molecular methods have developed as an alternative approach for identification of L.

Sociodemographics, Clinical Factors, and Biological Factors Associated with Loiasis in Endemic Onchocerciasis Areas in Southern Gabon

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2023
. To implement the appropriate strategies for scale-up interventions to eliminate onchocerciasis without severe adverse events, clinical and biological factors associated with loiasis were analyzed in onchocerciasis-endemic areas.
