Parasites at the Summit: Unexpected Geographic Distribution of the Blood Parasite Lineage Found in the Endangered Giant Lizard of Tenerife

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Reducing Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission in Africa: a model-based evaluation of intervention strategies. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Over the past decade malaria intervention coverage has been scaled up across Africa. However, it remains unclear what overall reduction in transmission is achievable using currently available tools.

A Global Perspective of Childhood Vaccinations: Past, Present, and Future—From Smallpox to mRNA

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Childhood immunisation is one of the most successful public health interventions in history, preventing millions of deaths and substantially reducing global child mortality. This mini‐review summarises the historical development of childhood vaccines, the role of global coordination in expanding immunisation coverage, and the innovations that ...

Applications and limitations of centers for disease control and prevention miniature light traps for measuring biting densities of African malaria vector populations : a pooled-analysis of 13 comparisons with human landing catches [PDF]

, 2015
Measurement of densities of host-seeking malaria vectors is important for estimating levels of disease transmission, for appropriately allocating interventions, and for quantifying their impact.

Trained Immunity in Childhood Vaccination

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
Trained immunity as an emerging concept in paediatric vaccinology. Trained immunity links vaccine stimuli through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming to enhanced innate immune cell function, thereby strengthening protection against diverse pathogens while promoting adaptive immune responses through more efficient antigen presentation and co ...

Made-to-Measure Malaria Vector Control Strategies: Rational Design Based on Insecticide Properties and Coverage of Blood Resources for Mosquitoes. [PDF]

, 2014
Eliminating malaria from highly endemic settings will require unprecedented levels of vector control. To suppress mosquito populations, vector control products targeting their blood hosts must attain high biological coverage of all available sources ...

The potential for attractive toxic sugar baits to complement core malaria interventions strategies: the need for more evidence

Malaria Journal
Despite its success, the increased use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) has contributed to the development of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors and shifts in biting patterns of the primary malaria vectors. The
