Detection of Plasmodium falciparum male and female gametocytes and determination of parasite sex ratio in human endemic populations by novel, cheap and robust RTqPCR assays [PDF]

, 2017
The presence of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes in peripheral blood is essential for human to mosquito parasite transmission. The detection of submicroscopic infections with gametocytes and the estimation of the gametocyte sex ratio are crucial to ...

Fostering Inclusive Excellence: Reimagining Oral Science Research and Admissions to Advance Dentistry During Perilous Times

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose: Recent shifts in public policy and legislation have aimed to dismantle progress toward racial equity in the United States, especially within the realm of education. Dental education institutions are responsible for cultivating the oral healthcare workforce of the future, but their ability to meet the growing dental burden is hampered ...

Identifying Malaria Transmission Foci for Elimination Using Human Mobility Data

PLoS Comput. Biol., 2016
Humans move frequently and tend to carry parasites among areas with endemic malaria and into areas where local transmission is unsustainable. Human-mediated parasite mobility can thus sustain parasite populations in areas where they would otherwise be ...

Biosignatures of Exposure/Transmission and Immunity. [PDF]

, 2015
A blood test that captures cumulative exposure over time and assesses levels of naturally acquired immunity (NAI) would provide a critical tool to monitor the impact of interventions to reduce malaria transmission and broaden our understanding of how NAI

Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.

Most outdoor malaria transmission by behaviourally-resistant Anopheles arabiensis is mediated by mosquitoes that have previously been inside houses

Malaria Journal, 2016
BackgroundAnopheles arabiensis is stereotypical of diverse vectors that mediate residual malaria transmission globally, because it can feed outdoors upon humans or cattle, or enter but then rapidly exit houses without fatal exposure to insecticidal nets ...

Indoor residual spraying of insecticide and malaria morbidity in a high transmission intensity area of Uganda. [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundRecently the use of indoor residual spraying of insecticide (IRS) has greatly increased in Africa; however, limited data exist on the quantitative impacts of IRS on health outcomes in highly malaria endemic areas.Methodology/principal ...

Deubiquitinase USP38 Stabilizes PLK1 Expression to Boost DNA Damage Repair in Ovarian Cancer

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most prevalent and severe gynecological malignant tumors. DNA damage repair (DDR) is essential in maintaining genome stability. This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of USP38 and PLK1 on DNA damage repair and malignant behavior in OC cells.
