Simple blood-spot sampling with nested polymerase chain reaction detection for epidemiology studies on Brugia malayi.

TL;DR: Simple finger-prick blood-spot collection, a one-tube DNA template extraction method and the development of a B. malayi-specific nested PCR assay are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping development and health effects of cooking with solid fuels in low-income and middle-income countries, 2000–18: a geospatial modelling study

Joseph Frostad, +353 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors estimated the prevalence of solid-fuel use with high spatial resolution to explore subnational inequalities, assess local progress, and assess the effects on health in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) without universal access to clean fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI

HLA degenerate T-cell epitopes from Plasmodium falciparum liver stage-specific antigen 1 (LSA-1) are highly conserved in isolates from geographically distinct areas

TL;DR: The extent of polymorphism within the N‐terminal non‐repetitive region of the LSA‐1 gene from Malaysian P. falciparum field isolates was sequenced and compared with data of isolates from Brazil, Kenya and Papua New Guinea, and three of the T‐cell epitopes were completely conserved while the remaining two were highly conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptation of in vitro cytoadherence assay to Plasmodium knowlesi field isolates

TL;DR: A static protein assay is used to determine if naturally occurring human P. knowlesi infections can cause erythrocytes to bind to ICAM-1, VCAM-2, and CD36, and to identify the receptors associated with PfEMP1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brucellosis in India: Comparing exposure amongst veterinarians, para-veterinarians and animal handlers
