<em>Ascaris lumbricoides</em> egg die-off in an experimental excreta storage system and public health implication in Vietnam (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: We studied the influence of different additive materials (lime, and rice husk) and aeration conditions on Ascaris lumbricoides egg die-off in 24 vaults of an experimental excreta storage unit [...] percentage of viable A. lumbricoides eggs decreased gradually from 76.72 +/- 11.23% (mean +/- SD) to 8.26 +/- 5.20%. The storage time and the high pH value significantly increased the die-off of helminth
Coadministered pneumococcal conjugate vaccine decreases immune response to hepatitis A vaccine: a randomized controlled trial (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: We explored the influence of coadministration on safety and immunogenicity of the most common travellers' vaccine hepatitis A (HepA) and the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) increasingly

Spheromers reveal robust T cell responses to the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and attenuated peripheral CD8(+) T cell responses post SARS-CoV-2 infection (Publications)
T cells are a critical component of the response to SARS-CoV-2, but their kinetics after infection and vaccination are insufficiently understood. Using "spheromer" peptide-MHC multimer reagents, we analyzed [...] analyzed healthy subjects receiving two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine. Vaccination resulted in robust spike-specific T cell responses for the dominant CD4(+) (HLA-DRB1( *)15:01/S191) and [...] resulted in decreased CD8(+) T cell activation and expansion, suggesting that...

Collaborative RNAS+ research: priorities and outcomes (Publications)
Cambodia clarified the role of reservoir hosts in transmission and the use of spatio-temporal methods such as remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS) in surveillance of schistosomiasis. Morbidity [...] research to explain possible development of resistance with age. Results of evaluation of candidate vaccine molecules are also presented. New diagnostics are continually being developed in response to the [...] and advance understanding in various aspects of schistosomiasis....
HIV in the Middle East and North Africa: priority, culture, and control (Publications)
data; the search of PubMed, ISI Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and grey literature databases were unrestricted by language and year of publication. RESULTS: Studies of HIV/AIDS in the region are limited [...] and considers their influence on perception of risk and approaches to control, such as condom use and antiretroviral therapy. METHODS: We screened a wide range of sources for comprehensive and reliable data; [...] to assess the priority of HIV/AIDS in the Middle East and North Africa region...
Maternal HIV and drug use: effect on health and social morbidity (Publications)
A retrospective analysis of routine child health surveillance information was performed on health visitor records of 459 children, to examine the independent effects of maternal HIV infection and drug [...] 3 years of life. No significant differences were observed in the developmental progress of children born to HIV infected or drug using women when compared to community controls. The pattern of medical [...] months of life was significantly different, maternal drug use exerting a negative infl...
