Community Drug Distributor Knowledge, Attitudes, and Motivation Surrounding Mass Drug Administration for Soil-Transmitted Helminths in India

Kumudha Aruldas, Saravanakumar Puthupalayam Kaliappan, Gideon John Israel, Gokila Palanisamy, Jabaselvi Johnson, Angelin Titus, Judd L. Walson, Arianna Rubin Means, Sitara Swarna Rao Ajjampur

Summary: The study found that community drug distributors with secondary school education and experience in health programs had better knowledge about soil-transmitted helminths and community-wide mass drug administration. CDDs from scheduled castes and tribes backgrounds, as well as those from households engaged in skilled occupations, showed a more positive attitude towards community-wide mass drug administration for soil-transmitted helminths.

Field evaluation of the gut microbiome composition of pre-school and school-aged children in Tha Song Yang, Thailand, following oral MDA for STH infections

Katharina Stracke, Poom Adisakwattana, Suparat Phuanukoonnon, Tippayarat Yoonuan, Akkarin Poodeepiyasawat, Paron Dekumyoy, Kittipong Chaisiri, Alexandra Roth Schulze, Stephen Wilcox, Harin Karunajeewa, Rebecca J. Traub, Aaron R. Jex

Summary: Soil-transmitted helminth infections have a significant negative impact on global population health, especially affecting children disproportionately. The lack of infection prevalence data in many endemic regions highlights the importance of molecular tools for establishing accurate epidemiological profiles. The gut microbiota can be influenced by medication, lifestyle factors, and co-inhabitation with parasites, but baseline studies in this area are limited.

Are current preventive chemotherapy strategies for controlling and eliminating neglected tropical diseases cost-effective?

Hugo C. Turner, Wilma A. Stolk, Anthony W. Solomon, Jonathan D. King, Antonio Montresor, David H. Molyneux, Jaspreet Toor

Summary: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) continue to be a significant burden in low-income and middle-income countries, with preventive chemotherapy being the main control method. Current estimates show that preventive chemotherapy is generally cost-effective, but there are still evidence gaps that require further research. These findings are crucial for informing global health policy and supporting ongoing efforts in NTD control and elimination.

Schistosomal (bilharzial) polyps: Travel through the colon and beyond

Mohamed H. Emara, Aya M. Mahros, Abdelrahman M. Ahmed Rasheda, Mohamed Radwan, Besher Mohamed, Osama Abdelrazik, Mostafa Elazab, Hassan Elbatae

Summary: Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease, endemic in many tropical and subtropical communities. Schistosomal polyps (S. polyps) are a common presentation of this infection, affecting not only the colon but also other organs. This review aims to increase awareness among practitioners, especially gastroenterologists, about the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of S. polyps, in order to improve patient outcomes.

Extending the DMSP Nighttime Lights Time Series beyond 2013

Tilottama Ghosh, Kimberly E. Baugh, Christopher D. Elvidge, Mikhail Zhizhin, Alexey Poyda, Feng-Chi Hsu

Summary: Global nighttime images have been processed by NOAA's EOG since 1994 using data collected by the DMSP-OLS. The focus shifted to VIIRS data in early 2014, but it was later discovered that F15 and F16 satellites had been collecting nighttime data since 2012, leading to the extension of algorithms for OLS data from 2013 onwards. This allowed for the intercalibration of images from three different overpass times in 2013, providing insights into the diurnal pattern of nighttime lights.

Ligand design for human acetylcholinesterase and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, extending beyond the conventional and canonical

Palmer Taylor, Yan-Jye Shyong, Nathan Samskey, Kwok-Yiu Ho, Zoran Radic, William Fenical, K. Barry Sharpless, Zrinka Kovarik, Gisela-Andrea Camacho-Hernandez

Summary: This article details novel reactivators that depart from traditional cholinesterase reactivators, focusing on achieving rapid penetration of the central nervous system and reactivation of AChE. These new reactivators should have minimal toxicity, limited inhibitory activity in the absence of organophosphates, and display nucleophilic potential at the conjugated AChE active center.

Tigist Dires Gebreyesus, Eyasu Makonnen, Tafesse Tadele, Habtamu Gashaw, Workagegnew Degefe, Heran Gerba, Birkneh Tilahun Tadesse, Parthasarathi Gurumurthy, Eleni Aklillu

Summary: Preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel and albendazole co-administration is a global strategy to eliminate schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminth. This study conducted active safety surveillance to assess the adverse events following the mass drug administration of praziquantel and albendazole in school children. The results showed that the treatment was generally safe, but children infected with parasites were more likely to experience adverse events.

The Genetics of Human Schistosomiasis Infection Intensity and Liver Disease: A Review

Estelle M. Mewamba, Oscar A. Nyangiri, Harry A. Noyes, Moses Egesa, Enock Matovu, Gustave Simo

Summary: This review focuses on how genetic factors may influence parasite load, hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension in schistosomiasis. Studies have shown a potential role for the T(h)17 pathway genes in controlling infection intensity and pathology. Future studies should prioritize investigating the effects of variants in this pathway on regulating these phenotypes.

Environmental and sociodemographic risk factors associated with environmentally transmitted zoonoses hospitalisations in Queensland, Australia

J. Cortes-Ramirez, D. Vilcins, P. Jagals, R. J. Soares Magalhaes

Summary: Zoonoses pose a significant public health burden in Queensland, Australia, with increased risk of environmentally transmitted diseases for individuals in occupations such as animal farming and hunting. Females have a higher risk of hospitalization due to environmentally transmitted zoonoses compared to the general population. Certain areas in the state have a higher risk of zoonotic hospitalizations, suggesting a need for targeted health support and disease control strategies.

Molecular Detection of Tetracycline-Resistant Genes in Multi-Drug-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated from Broiler Meat in Bangladesh

Gazi Sofiul Alam, Mohammad Mahmudul Hassan, Md. Ahaduzzaman, Chandan Nath, Pronesh Dutta, Hamida Khanom, Shahneaz Ali Khan, Md Ridoan Pasha, Ariful Islam, Ricardo Soares Magalhaes, Rowland Cobbold

Summary: This study investigated the AMR patterns and tetracycline-resistant gene profiles of E. coli in broiler meat and livers from live bird markets and supermarkets in Chattogram, Bangladesh. The results showed high prevalence of resistance against multiple antibiotics and the presence of multi-drug resistant E. coli strains. It also revealed the widespread presence of tetracycline-resistant genes in E. coli isolates. This highlights the need for proper management of antimicrobial use in poultry farming and emphasizes the public health risks associated with AMR in broiler-associated pathogens.

Summary: Environmental zoonotic diseases are complex infections that depend on interactions between humans, animals, and the environment. Challenges in diagnosing and controlling these diseases arise from their reservoirs in the natural environment and the need for a One Health approach. Factors such as climate change, human population density, and agricultural intensification have been linked to increased transmission events for these infections.
