Five-year impact of repeated praziquantel treatment on subclinical morbidity due to<em> Schistosoma japonicum</em> in China (Publications)
We report the 5-year impact (1996-2001) of repeated praziquantel chemotherapy on subclinical morbidity related to Schistosoma japonicum infection. We repeated stool examinations and hepatosplenic ultr [...] schistosome infection fell by 43% and intensity (geometric mean eggs per gram) declined by 80% over the 5 years. However, transmission persisted at a dangerously high rate of 13% per year for re-infection or

FINDINGS: Exposure of children younger than 1 year, compared with those aged 1-5 years, to stables and consumption of farm milk was associated with lower frequencies of asthma (1% 3/218 [...] independent from effect on atopic sensitisation. Continual long-term exposure to stables until age 5 years was associated with the lowest frequencies of asthma (0.8% 1/122), hay fever (0.8% 1), and atopic

Insufficient fruit and vegetable intake in a low- and middle-income setting: a population-based survey in semi-urban Tanzania (Publications)
A daily intake of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables (FV) is recommended for protection against non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Inadequate FV intake is a global problem but resource-poor countries like [...] participants did not meet the recommended daily FV intake While only a fraction consumed fruits daily (15.5%), almost half consumed vegetables daily (44.2%). However, the median (IQR) number of vegetable portions

In 7 of 15 villages (46.7%), there were no Wb123-positive [...] positive responses to Wb123 ranged in age from 3 to 100 years. Overall, Bm14 prevalence was also low (1.5%, 95% CI 0.7-2.8%). Bm14 positivity was significantly associated with older age (P < 0.001). The low

In moderate transmission settings (prevalence by qPCR> 5%), parasite density decreased with age and the majority of gametocyte carriers were children. In low
