GHTM Session 2022VBD01p » Optimising strategies for control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)

GHTM Sessions 2022 VBD01 » Optimising strategies for control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)

  • De: 14/01/2022
  • Até: 14/01/2022
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

NTDs cause serious morbidity and disability, affecting 2 billion people in low- and middle-income countries. The main strategy for control of key NTDs is preventive chemotherapy (PC), the regular delivery of drugs to entire communities or specific sub-groups, such as children. PC NTDs of global importance include soil-transmitted helminths, schistosomiasis, scabies, trachoma and yaws. The Kirby’s NTD research group is leading large-scale intervention research linked to novel diagnostics, social science, health economics and mathematical modelling aiming to contribute to the control and elimination of PC NTDs in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa. The RG leader will present an overview of that research with examples including cluster randomised control trials in Vietnam, Solomon Islands and Fiji; and impact assessments of PC programs in Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Nauru, East Timor and Angola.

GHTM Sessions 2021CCID11 » Determination of the microbicidal activity of macrophages infected with spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID11 » Determination of the microbicidal activity of macrophages infected with spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.)

  • De: 22/09/2021
  • Até: 22/09/2021
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Lyme borreliosis (LB) is an emerging zoonotic disease with a high prevalence on several continents, namely in Europe where Portugal is no exception, due to the increasing number of registered cases. The etiologic agents are bacteria (spirochetes) of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex (s.l.), transmitted by biting ticks (vectors), mainly of the genus Ixodes.

GHTM Session 2021CCID09 » Point-of-care ultrasound in Schist infections

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID09 » Point-of-care ultrasound in Schistosoma haematobium infections – a new approach to detect potentially carcinogenic lesions

  • De: 21/07/2021
  • Até: 21/07/2021
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Recently, emerged a tool that can be useful to identify and evaluate potentially carcinogenic bladder or kidney damages: point-of-care ultrasound.
The research on urinary tract lesions as infection symptoms, with the development of ultrasound evaluation protocols, might enable early treatment and prevent cancer progression among millions of people.
