WHO global research priorities for antimicrobial resistance in human health
WHO Research Agenda for AMR in Human Health Collaborators; Bertagnolio, Silvia; Dobreva, Zlatina; Centner, Chad M.; Olaru, Ioana Diana; Donà, DanieleThe WHO research agenda for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human health has identified 40 research priorities to be addressed by the year 2030. These priorities focus on bacterial and fungal pathogens of crucial importance in addressing AMR, including drug-resistant pathogens causing tuberculosis. These research priorities encompass the entire people-centred journey, covering prevention, diagnosis, and treat...
A multinational Delphi consensus to end the COVID-19 public health threat
COVID-19 Consensus Statement Panel; Lazarus, Jeffrey V.; Romero, Diana; Kopka, Christopher J.; Karim, Salim Abdool; Abu-Raddad, Laith J.Despite notable scientific and medical advances, broader political, socioeconomic and behavioural factors continue to undercut the response to the COVID-19 pandemic1,2. Here we convened, as part of this Delphi study, a diverse, multidisciplinary panel of 386 academic, health, non-governmental organization, government and other experts in COVID-19 response from 112 countries and territories to recommend specific...
High proportions of asymptomatic and submicroscopic Plasmodium vivax infections...
Almeida, Anne Cristine Gomes; Kuehn, Andrea; Castro, Arthur J.M.; Vítor-Silva, Sheila; Figueiredo, Erick F.G.; Brasil, Larissa WanderleyBackground: Population-based studies conducted in Latin America have shown a high proportion of asymptomatic and submicroscopic malarial infections. Considering efforts aiming at regional elimination, it is important to investigate the role of this asymptomatic reservoir in malaria transmission in peri-urban areas. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of Plasmodium spp. and gametocyte burden on symptomat...
Integrated vector management targeting Anopheles darlingi populations decreases...
Martins-Campos, Keillen M.; Pinheiro, Waléria Dasso; Vítor-Silva, Sheila; Siqueira, Andre M.; Melo, Gisely Cardoso de; Rodrigues, Íria C.Background: Studies on vector behaviour should be conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of vector control measures on malaria protection in endemic areas of Latin America, where P. vivax predominates. This work aims to investigate the fauna of anopheline mosquitoes and verify the impact of integrated vector management in two colonization projects in the Careiro Municipality, Western Brazilian Amazon....

G6PD deficiency in Latin America : systematic review on prevalence and variants
Monteiro, Wuelton Marcelo; Val, Fernando Fonseca de Almeida; Siqueira, André Machado; Franca, Gabriel Peixoto; Sampaio, Vanderson de SouzaPlasmodium vivax radical cure requires the use of primaquine (PQ), a drug that induces haemolysis in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient (G6PDd) individuals, which further hampers malaria control efforts. The aim of this work was to study the G6PDd prevalence and variants in Latin America (LA) and the Caribbean region. A systematic search of the published literature was undertaken in August 2013. Biblio...
Clinical complications of G6PD deficiency in Latin American and Caribbean popul...
Monteiro, Wuelton Marcelo; Franca, Gabriel Peixoto; Melo, Gisely Cardoso de; Queiroz, Amanda de Lourdes Maciel; Brito, Marcelo; Peixoto, Henry MaiaBackground: Although G6PDd individuals are generally asymptomatic throughout their life, the clinical burden of this genetic condition includes a range of haematological conditions, including acute haemolytic anaemia (AHA), neonatal jaundice (NNJ) and chronic non-sphaerocytic anaemia (CNSA). In Latin America (LA), the huge knowledge gap regarding G6PDd is related to the scarce understanding of the burden of cli...
