  • Genetic strategies for controlling malaria transmission based on engineering pathogen resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes are being tested in a number of animal models. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Three rounds of city-wide, cluster-sampled cross-sectional surveys of malaria parasite infection status, spanning 2010 to 2012, were complemented by two series of high-resolution, longitudinal surveys of vector density. (biomedcentral.com)
  • While existing vector control interventions have dramatically attenuated malaria transmission in Dar es Salaam, further scale-up and additional measures to protect against mosquito bites outdoors are desirable. (biomedcentral.com)
  • At the individual level, interventions to reduce transmission include improved hygiene and the use of face masks, respirators, and other physical barriers [ Reference Jefferson 5 ]. (cambridge.org)
  • Even though effective interventions to reduce vertical transmission of HIV are now available and remarkable progress has been made in scaling up prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services, the effectiveness of PMTCT interventions is unknown in Zambia. (soton.ac.uk)
  • Among nearly 900 serodifferent (one partner is HIV-positive, one is HIV-negative) heterosexual and men who have sex with men couples in which the HIV-positive partner was using suppressive antiretroviral therapy and who reported condomless sex, during a median follow-up of 1.3 years per couple, there were no documented cases of within-couple HIV transmission, according to a new study. (sciencedaily.com)
  • This guidance sets out how prosecutors should approach cases where there is an allegation that the suspect has intentionally or recklessly transmitted an infection to another person during sexual activity. (cps.gov.uk)
  • The upsurge of infections in poultry and the cases in people has likely been caused by changes in the economy and the poultry industry. (who.int)
  • The number of new cases-719 330 in 20002-did not decline over the last 15 years, indicating that transmission is continuing at the same level. (kit.nl)
  • In some cases, sinus infections can lead to other complications. (healthline.com)
  • Prior to the explosion of the number of cases of AIDS and the more routine use of immunosuppressant drugs, C. neoformans infections were rare. (encyclopedia.com)
  • By fitting the model to case data in Hong Kong, we are able to accurately track the local effective reproduction number of COVID-19 in near real time (i.e., no longer constrained by the delay of around 9 days between infection and reporting of cases) which is essential for quick assessment of the effectiveness of interventions on reducing transmissibility. (nature.com)
  • The CDC attributed the decline in reported cases of chlamydia - which historically accounts for the largest proportion of STDs in the United States - to a drop in screening and underdiagnosis during the pandemic rather than a reduction in new infections. (medscape.com)
  • Most cases in the United States are acquired while traveling in countries where the infection is common. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Most people are familiar with Candida albicans infection as it is a common yeast infection of Candida family. (tandurust.com)
  • This study analysed the impact and the extent by which parental Onchocerca volvulus infection, intensity of transmission of O. volvulus infective 3rd-stage larvae (L3) and anthropometric factors may influence the acquisition, development and persistence of O. volvulus infection in offspring. (nih.gov)
  • Conclusions The infection fatality rate of COVID-19 can vary substantially across different locations and this may reflect differences in population age structure and case-mix of infected and deceased patients as well as multiple other factors. (researchgate.net)
