Background
Entomological surveillance of lymphatic filariasis and malaria infections play an important role in the decision-making of national programs to control, or eliminate these both diseases. In areas where both diseases prevalence is low, a large number of mosquitoes need to be sampled to determine vectors infection rate. To do this, efficie...
Background: Ophidian envenomation is a public health problem mainly in sub-Saharan African countries. The high cost of antivenom and/or its frequent unavailability in primary health care centres forces most snakebite victims to consult traditional healers for medicinal plants as a first-line treatment.
Purpose: This study aimed to identify medicina...
Background
This study was designed to provide insecticide resistance data for decision-making in terms of resistance management plans in Togo.
Methods
The susceptibility status of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) to insecticides used in public health was assessed using the WHO tube test protocol. Pyrethroid resistance intensity bioassays were p...
Background: This study was designed to provide insecticide resistance data for decision making in terms of resistance management plans in Togo.
Methods: The susceptibility status of Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) to insecticides used in public health was assessed using the WHO tube test protocol. Pyrethroid resistance intensity bioassa...
Background
Entomological surveillance of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and malaria infections play an important role in the decision-making of national programs, to control or eliminate these both diseases. In order to corroborate infections in the human population, sampling large numbers of mosquitoes is necessary. To overcome this challenge, this stu...
Background
Snakebite envenomation is a significant public health problem in Burkina Faso. Our study describes the epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of snakebite cases at primary health centers in Houet Province, which is located in the western area of Burkina Faso.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective study of 664 snakebite cases occurring a...
Background
To eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF), since 2001, Burkina Faso adopted a community-based treatment with annual mass drug administration (MDA) of ivermectin-abendazole. However, after more than 11 rounds of MDA, it remained some hotpots where transmission is still being active. Therefore, to better scale up elimination measures toward 2...
Abstract
Background: Malaria, one of the world’s greatest public health challenges, is an endemic disease with stable trans‑mission in Togo. Combating malaria requires an effective vector control. This study provides temporal data on insecti‑cide resistance status in the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) from Togo.
Methods: T...
Gastrointestinal parasites infections are widespread in Africa and their prevalence infections vary from country to country. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence of opportunistic intestinal parasites infection and other gastrointestinal parasites infection among patients attending the laboratory of Parasitology and Mycology of the Universit...
