TL;DR: It is concluded that schistosomiasis remains an important public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and the mortality rates due to non-functioning kidney and haematemesis at 150000 and 130000 per year are estimated.

TL;DR: Estimates suggest that earlier eligibility for antiretroviral therapy is very cost effective in low-income and middle-income settings, although these estimates should be revisited when more data become available.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review and meta-analysis of model predictions of the long-term population-level effectiveness of vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in women and men, to examine the variability in predicted herd effects, incremental benefit of vaccinating boys, and potential for HPV-vaccine-type elimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substantial Contribution of Submicroscopical Plasmodium falciparum Gametocyte Carriage to the Infectious Reservoir in an Area of Seasonal Transmission

TL;DR: Submicroscopical gametocyte carriage is common in an area of seasonal transmission in Burkina Faso and contributes substantially to the human infectious reservoir and should therefore be considered when implementing interventions that aim to reduce malaria transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The study showed that epidemics in specific years were associated with specific geographical areas and were significantly more often preceded by a month of abnormally high minimum temperature in the preceding 3 months than based on random chance.
