Blood-Stage Parasitaemia and Age Determine Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax Gametocytaemia in Papua New Guinea

PLoS ONE, 2015
A better understanding of human-to-mosquito transmission is crucial to control malaria. In order to assess factors associated with gametocyte carriage, 2083 samples were collected in a cross-sectional survey in Papua New Guinea.

Melioidosis in Papua New Guinea and Oceania [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2018
Melioidosis has only been sporadically reported throughout Melanesia and the Pacific region since the first report from Guam in 1946; therefore, its contribution to the disease burden in this region is largely unknown. However, the outcome of a small number of active surveillance programs, serological surveys, and presumptive imported cases identified ...

Risk factors for malaria and adverse birth outcomes in a prospective cohort of pregnant women resident in a high malaria transmission area of Papua New Guinea.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015
BACKGROUND Low birth weight (LBW), anaemia and malaria are common in Papua New Guinean women. METHODS To identify risk factors for LBW, anaemia and preterm delivery (PTD), pregnant women recruited into a cohort study in Madang, Papua New Guinea, were ...

Global carbon stocks and potential emissions due to mangrove deforestation from 2000 to 2012 [PDF]

, 2016
Mangrove forests store high densities of organic carbon compared to other forested ecosystems. High carbon storage coupled with high rates of deforestation means that mangroves contribute substantially to carbon emissions. Thus, mangroves are candidates for inclusion in Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) to the UNFCC Payments for ...

Spin-orbit coupling in a graphene bilayer and in graphite [PDF]

New Journal of Physics, vol. 12, 083063 (2010), 2010
The intrinsic spin-orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and in graphite are studied, using a tight binding model, and an intraatomic LS coupling. The spin-orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and graphite are larger, by about one order of magnitude, than the interactions in single layer graphene, due to the mixing of pi and sigma bands by ...

Stringency and dissimilarity of Maximum Residue Levels affect bilateral agri‐food trade stability

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Food standards are rising in both prevalence and stringency. They protect consumers and may enhance demand stability but also pose compliance challenges to producers, with ambiguous effects on the stability of trade relationships. We analyze the impact of importers' Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) along with bilateral MRL dissimilarity between ...

Acceptability of self-collected vaginal swabs and point-of-care testing for sexually transmitted and genital infections among pregnant women in Papua New Guinea

Global Public Health
The self-collection of vaginal swabs and point-of-care testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is reported from several low-and middle-income countries. However, the reporting on women’s experiences of self-collection and same-day
