Journal ArticleDOI
A current analysis of chemotherapy strategies for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis
TL;DR: Current and future chemotherapy strategies for the treatment of HAT are discussed and greater emphasis should be placed on the research and development of combination chemotherapies, based on the successful clinical tests with NECT and its current use as a frontline anti-trypanosomiasis treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impact of the pfhrp2 variation on RDT detection rates was examined by analysing the relationship between sequence characteristics of this gene and the results of the WHO product testing of malaria RDTs: Round 1 (2008), for 34 PfHRP2-detecting rDTs.

TL;DR: Despite extreme sequence variation, diversity of PfHRP2 does not appear to be a major cause of RDT sensitivity variation, and no statistically robust correlation between gene structure and RDT detection rate for P. falciparum parasites was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Malaria in Pregnant Women in Lagos, South-West Nigeria
TL;DR: The over-diagnosis of malaria in pregnancy is exposed and the need for training and retraining of laboratory staffs as well as establishing the malaria diagnosis quality assurance programme to ensure the accuracy of malaria microscopy results at all levels is exposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strongyloides stercoralis and the immune response.
TL;DR: The solution to reducing the prevalence of strongyloidiasis remains on the effectiveness of pre-emptive measures in endemic communities, increased awareness, prompt early diagnosis as well as timely treatment.
