General contextual effects on neglected tropical disease risk in rural Kenya by Glanville, William A. de, Thomas, Lian F., Cook, Elizabeth A.J., Bronsvoort, B.M. de C., Wardrop, N., Wamae, C.N., Kariuki, S., Fèvre, Eric M.

“…Important place-based heterogeneities in infection risk exist in this community, and these GCEs are greater for the NTDs and HIV than for TB and malaria. Our findings suggest that broad-scale contextual drivers shape infectious disease risk in this population, but these effects operate at different grouping-levels for different pathogens. …”

Impactos multifactoriales del cambio climático en Nicaragua y estrategias de adaptación by Salazar Centeno, Dennis José

“…Estos favorecen epidemias transmitidas por el mosquito Aedes aegyti, como el dengue, la malaria y recientemente el Chikungunya, así como la leptospirosis (enfermedad bacteriana que se trasmite por consumo de agua y alimentos contaminados con orina de roedores), deslizamientos de tierra, pérdidas humanas, pérdidas de la infraestructura social y productiva, tanto pública como privada (escuelas, caminos,carreteras, puentes, viviendas, cercados, corrales, etc.).En síntesis, fenómenos extremos de El Niño o La Niña provocan un fuerte deterioro de los medios de vida de la población de las zonas afectadas, que dependen de los recursos agua, suelo, bosque y del clima.…”

Daily consumption of pro-vitamin A biofortified (yellow) cassava improves serum retinol concentrations in preschool children in Nigeria: A randomized controlled trial by Afolami, Ibukun, Mwangi, Martin N., Samuel, Folake, Boy, Erick, Ilona, Paul, Talsma, Elise F., Feskens, Edith J. M., Melse-Boonstra, Alida

No significant treatment effects were detected for serum β-carotene (adjusted effect: 3.9%; 95% CI: −0.6%, 8.6%) and gut permeability (adjusted effect: 0.002; 95% CI: −0.089, 0.092), but a significant effect was detected for hemoglobin concentrations (adjusted effect: 3.08 g/L; 95% CI: 0.38, 5.78 g/L). …”
