This policy brief draws upon systematic reviews and secondary data analyses regarding HIV among key vulnerable populations in the European Region from the full report, "HIV Epidemics in the European Region: Vulnerability and Response".
We compared PCR to conventional culture for the detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in 30,835 rectal samples over a 3-year period. The positive and negative predictive values of vanB PCR were 1.42% and 99.9%, respectively.... more
Cluster headache (CH), paroxysmal hemicrania (PH), and short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT syndrome) are primary headaches grouped together as trigeminal autonomic... more

Genetic recombination between viral genomes has been shown to contribute to the generation of genetic diversity during retrovirus infections. The role of recombination in the development of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)... more
ELQ-300, an investigational drug for treating and preventing malaria, shows potent transmission-blocking activity in rodent models of malaria.
Aims: To assess the epidemiology of UTIs affecting inpatients and outpatients and the antibiotic resistance levels, expressed as multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) indices from the isolated species at a tertiary-care hospital in... more
Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Uganda especially in children under five years. Transmission of malaria is perennial though there are seasonal exacerbations. Up to 70 per cent of outpatient cases and over 50 per... more
Gametocyte sex-ratio in Plasmodium falciparum malaria is an important determinant of transmission success and basis of disease epidemiology. Information on ratio of male to female gametocytes after an exposure of antimalarial regimens... more
Chloroquine (CQ) remains the first-line treatment of malaria in Haiti. Given the challenges of conducting in vivo drug efficacy trials in low-endemic settings like Haiti, molecular surveillance for drug resistance markers is a reasonable... more
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has many advantages as a photosynthetic model organism. One of these is facile, targeted chloroplast transformation by particle bombardment. Functional recombinant proteins can be expressed to significant levels... more
