Genetic dissociation of three antigenic genes in Plasmodium ovale curtisi and Plasmodium ovale wallikeri

  • Autores: Saralamba M, Nosten F, Sutherland CJ, Arez AP, Snounou G, White NJ, Day NPJ, Dondorp AM, Imwong M
  • Ano de Publicação: 2019

Plasmodium ovale curtisi and Plasmodium ovale wallikeri are two sympatric human malaria species prevalent in Africa, Asia and Oceania. The reported prevalence of both P. ovale spp. was relatively low compared to other malaria species, but more sensitive molecular detection techniques have shown that asymptomatic low-density infections are more common than previously thought. Whole genome sequencing of both P. ovale spp. revealed genetic dissociation […]

Cough-aerosol cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the prediction of outcomes after exposure. A household contact study in Brazil

  • Autores: Acuña-Villaorduña C, Dietze R, Ellner JJ, Fennelly KP, Gaeddert M, Hadad DJ, Jones-López EC, Marques-Rodrigues P, Palaci M, Schmidt-Castellani LG, White LF

Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures of cough-generated aerosols from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) are a quantitative method to measure infectiousness and to predict secondary outcomes in exposed contacts. However, their reproducibility has not been established. Objective To evaluate the predictive value of colony-forming units (CFU) of M. tuberculosis in cough aerosols on secondary infection and disease in household contacts […]

Welfare states, the Great Recession and health: Trends in educational inequalities in self-reported health in 26 European countries

  • Autores: Leão T, Campos-Matos I, Bambra C, Russo G, Perelman J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2018
  • Journal: PLoS One
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5825059/%20

Background Although socioeconomic inequalities in health have long been observed in Europe, few studies have analysed their recent patterning. In this paper, we examined how educational inequalities in self-reported health have evolved in different European countries and welfare state regimes over the last decade, which was troubled by the Great Recession. Methods We used cross-sectional […]

Direct detection by the xpert MTB/RIF assay and characterization of multi and poly drug- resistant tuberculosis in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa

  • Autores: Armada A, Colombatti R, Gomes VF, Machado D, Mane M, Martins E, Ponce G, Rabna P, Ramos J, Sanca L, Vieira F
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: PLoS One
  • Link: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0127536%20

This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the Xpert MTB/RIF assay for the rapid direct detection of M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains and rifampicin resistance associated mutations in a resource-limited setting such as Guinea-Bissau and its implications in the management of tuberculosis (TB) and drug resistant tuberculosis, complementing the scarce information on resistance and […]

Trends in cancer incidence in Maputo, Mozambique, 1991-2008

  • Autores: Augusto O, Carrilho C, Castillo P, de Sanjosé S, García-Basteiro AL, Ismail MR, Lorenzoni C, Menéndez C, Ordi J, Sidat M, Vilajeliu A
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: PLoS One
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4481529/

Very limited information is available regarding the incidence of cancer in sub-Saharan Africa. We analyzed changes in cancer patterns from 1991 to 2008 in Maputo (Mozambique). We calculated the rates of incidence of different cancer sites by sex in the 5-year age-group of the population of Maputo city as well as age-standardized rates (ASRs) and […]
