This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schistosomiasis is a major health problem in many tropical areas in the world. This neglected tropical disease is endemic in 78 countries and affects over 250 million worldwide. In 2021 the World Health Organization published the document “Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021−2030”, which established as goals for schistosomiasis (i) elimination of the disease as a public health problem in 78 affected countries by 2030, and (ii) elimination of transmission in 25 endemic countries by 2030. However, to achieve these goals, it is necessary to better understand the disease and its dynamics, the parasite's immunobiology, and its relationship with the definitive and intermediate hosts. This will allow for the development of vaccines, more effective/alternative drugs, precise diagnostic methods, and improved strategies to prevent, control, and eventually even eliminate this devastating disease. Since 1987 the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz, Brazilian Ministry of Health) has organized the International Symposium on Schistosomiasis on a biennial basis. Historically, this symposium brings together approximately 350 people, accounting for world-renowned scientists, public health managers, students, and policymakers, to translate the knowledge generated in research institutions into actions and tools to improve the quality of life of the population affected by schistosomiasis. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the symposium had to be postponed. In order to continue the discussion on schistosomiasis in these difficult times, the organizing committee of the event launched a Pre-conference Research topic (Pre-Conference Research Topic: 16th International Symposium on Schistosomiasis) where scientists could share their latest discoveries with the community. With the advent of vaccines and other public health strategies implemented across the globe, we are pleased to announce that The 16th edition of the International Symposium on Schistosomiasis will be held in person between 21 and 23 November 2022, in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We would like to invite our colleagues that intend to attend the Symposium to submit their contributions. In addition, submissions from scientists that would not be able to join us in Ouro Preto in November are also welcome.

Download or read book Neglected Tropical Diseases Latin America and the Caribbean written by Carlos Franco-Paredes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the major neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) – based on their prevalence and the years of healthy life lost to disability – in Latin American and Caribbean countries. These include Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, hookworm infection, and other soil-transmitted helminth infections, followed by dengue, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, leprosy, cysticercosis, bartonellosis, Plasmodium vivax malaria, and onchocerciasis. Topics like disease burden, major manifestations and approaches to the control and elimination of NTDs in Latin America and the Caribbean are discussed in detail. As such, the book will be of general interest to basic researchers and clinicians engaged in infectious disease, tropical medicine, and parasitology, and a must-have for scientists specialized in the characteristics of this region of the world.

Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 2 written by Robert Black and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.
Download or read book Bioterrorism and Biocrimes written by W. Seth Carus and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The working paper is divided into two main parts. The first part is a descriptive analysis of the illicit use of biological agents by criminals and terrorists. It draws on a series of case studies documented in the second part. The case studies describe every instance identifiable in open source materials in which a perpetrator used, acquired, or threatened to use a biological agent. While the inventory of cases is clearly incomplete, it provides an empirical basis for addressing a number of important questions relating to both biocrimes and bioterrorism. This material should enable policymakers concerned with bioterrorism to make more informed decisions. In the course of this project, the author has researched over 270 alleged cases involving biological agents. This includes all incidents found in open sources that allegedly occurred during the 20th Century. While the list is certainly not complete, it provides the most comprehensive existing unclassified coverage of instances of illicit use of biological agents.
