A Global Systematic Review on the Potential of Metal‐Based Nanoparticles in the Fight Against Mosquito Vectors

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Mosquito‐borne diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and other viral infections, pose significant public health challenges worldwide. For many years, chemical insecticides were used in the form of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs).

In‐host modeling of dengue virus and non‐structural protein 1 and the effects of ivermectin in patients with acute dengue fever

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 2196-2209, December 2024.
Abstract The increased incidence of dengue poses a substantially global public health challenge. There are no approved antiviral drugs to treat dengue infections. Ivermectin, an old anti‐parasitic drug, had no effect on dengue viremia, but reduced the dengue non‐structural protein 1 (NS1) in a clinical trial.

New Results on the Asymptotic Behaviour of a Stochastic SEI Model of Lymphatic Filariasis

Complexity
The goal of this article is to examine a new stochastic epidemic model for lymphatic filariasis, susceptible-exposed-infected (SEI). Like other diseases, the spread of lymphatic filariasis is subject to a degree of randomness due to fluctuations in the ...

Eradicating lymphatic filariasis

, 2015
The neglected tropical disease, lymphatic filariasis (LF), is endemic in 73 countries, primarily among impoverished populations. Infection with LF can damage the lymphatic system, causing permanent disability including hydrocele, lymphedema, and elephantiasis.

LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS: AN OVERVIEW

Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research, 2019
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a tropical disease caused by infection with the parasitic filarial worms: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. The symptoms of this chronic disease appear in adults (in men more than in women) and include damage to the lymphatic system, arms, legs, and genitals, which cause significant pain, reducing ...
