(American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015)
In a study of children having polyparasitic infections in a Schistosoma haematobium-endemic area, we examined the hypothesis that S. haematobium-positive children, compared with S. haematobium-negative children (anti-soluble ...
Association of symptoms and severity of rift valley fever with genetic polymorphisms in human innate immune pathways
(PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015)
BACKGROUND:
Multiple recent outbreaks of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) in Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula have resulted in significant morbidity, mortality, and financial loss due to related livestock epizootics. ...
