Seroprevalence of major bovine-associated zoonotic infectious diseases in the Lao People's Democratic Republic Institute of Tropical Medicine
Bovine-associated zoonotic infectious diseases pose a significant threat to human health in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). In all, 905 cattle and buffalo serum samples collected in northern Lao PDR in 2006 were used to determine seroprevalence of five major bovine zoonotic infectious diseases that included Taenia saginata cysticercosis, bovine tuberculosis, Q-fever, bovine brucellosis, and bovine leptospirosis. Five ...

The development of an artificial intelligence-based digital pathology for neglected tropical diseases : a platform specific analysis of the World Health Organization diagnostic target product profile for soil-transmitted helminthiasis Ghent University
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently published target product profiles (TPPs) for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) to inform and accelerate the development of diagnostics tools necessary to achieve targets in the decade ahead. These TPPs describe the minimal and ideal requirements for various diagnostic needs related to NTD specific use-cases. An early step towards the manufacture and implementation of new diagnostics is to critically ...
Repurposing auranofin and evaluation of a new gold(I) compound for the search of treatment of human and cattle parasitic diseases University of Antwerp
Neglected parasitic diseases remain a major public health issue worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. Human parasite diversity is very large, ranging from protozoa to worms. In most cases, more effective and new drugs are urgently needed. Previous studies indicated that the gold(I) drug auranofin (Ridaura®) is effective against several parasites. Among new gold(I) complexes, the phosphole-containing gold(I) complex ...
Open source drug discovery with the malaria box compound collection for neglected diseases and beyond University of Antwerp
A major cause of the paucity of new starting points for drug discovery is the lack of interaction between academia and industry. Much of the global resource in biology is present in universities, whereas the focus of medicinal chemistry is still largely within industry. Open source drug discovery, with sharing of information, is clearly a first step towards overcoming this gap. But the interface could especially be bridged through a scale-up of ...
Deworming is not a risk factor for the development of atopic diseases: a longitudinal study in Cuban schoolchildren Institute of Tropical Medicine
Severe strongyloidiasis: a systematic review of case reports Institute of Tropical Medicine
BACKGROUND: Strongyloidiasis is commonly a clinically unapparent, chronic infection, but immuno suppressed subjects can develop fatal disease. We carried out a review of literature on hyperinfection syndrome (HS) and disseminated strongyloidiasis (DS), in order to describe the most challenging aspects of severe strongyloidiasis. METHODS: We conducted a structured search using PubMed to collect case reports and short case series on HS/DS ...
