Since the 1940s, French Guiana has implemented vector control to contain or eliminate malaria, yellow fever, and, recently, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Over time, strategies have evolved depending on the location, efficacy of the methods, development of insecticide resistance, and advances in vector control techniques. This review summarises the...
Childhood vaccines are a safe, effective, and essential component of any comprehensive public health system. Successful and complete child immunization requires sensitivity and responsiveness to community needs and concerns while reducing barriers to access and providing respectful quality services. Community demand for immunization is influenced b...
The effective use of geospatial data and technologies to collect, manage, analyze, model, and visualize geographic data has great potential to improve data-driven decision-making for immunization programs. This article presents a theory of change for the use of geospatial technologies for immunization programming-a framework to illustrate the ways...

As part of the Personal Connected Health Alliance’s (PCHAlliance) efforts to define personal
connected health, evidence was identified as a key driver for shaping the field. This publication
aims to set an initial baseline for the current body of evidence in personal connected health
in key sub-domains, namely behavior change and self-care, remote...
Sensitization to repeated doses of psychostimulants is thought to be an important component underlying the addictive process in humans [1] [2] [3] [4]. In all vertebrate animal models, including humans [5], and even in fruit flies, sensitization is observed after repeated exposure to volatilized crack cocaine [6]. In vertebrates, sensitization is t...
The circadian clock consists of a feedback loop in which clock genes are rhythmically expressed, giving rise to cycling levels of RNA and proteins. Four of the five circadian genes identified to date influence responsiveness to freebase cocaine in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Sensitization to repeated cocaine exposures, a phenomenon also...
Following sting autotomy, honey bee workers continue to participate in colony defense by following and harassing potential predators. Bees that pursue a human observer are highly likely to have previously stung a leather target at the colony entrance. Wing wear and other characteristics of the pursuing bees suggest that they are soldier or guard be...
