Drug resistance profile and clonality of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in Cap...
Da Veiga Leal, Silvania; Ward, Daniel; Campino, Susana; Benavente, Ernest Diez; Ibrahim, Amy; Claret, Tânia; Isaías, Varela; Monteiro, DavidsonCape Verde is an archipelago located off the West African coast and is in a pre-elimination phase of malaria control. Since 2010, fewer than 20 Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases have been reported annually, except in 2017, when an outbreak in Praia before the rainy season led to 423 autochthonous cases.

Genomic diversity of drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Lisb...
Perdigão, João; Silva, Hugo; Machado, Diana; Macedo, Rita; Maltez, Fernando; Silva, Carla; Jordão, Luísa; Couto, Isabel; Mallard, Kim; Coll, FrancescMultidrug- (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) present a challenge to disease control and elimination goals. Lisbon, Portugal, has a high TB incidence rate and, unusual and successful XDR-TB strains that are found in circulation for almost two decades. In the present study, 56 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates, mostly recovered in Lisbon, were genotyped by 24-loci Mycobacterial Inters...
