Interleukin (IL)-13 promoter polymorphisms (-7402 T/G and -4729G/A) condition susceptibility to pediatric severe malarial anemia but not circulating IL-13 levels
(BMC Immunology, 2013-03-25)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas such as western Kenya, severe malarial anemia [SMA, hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL, with any density parasitemia] is the most common clinical manifestation of severe ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in selected sewage sludge in Nigeria
(Elsavier, 2013-05-03)
Levels of seven major perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) and three perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) were analyzed for the first time in sludge from wastewater treatment plants from Nigeria. Measurements were performed ...

Feedback-Based, System-Level Properties of Vertebrate-Microbial Interactions
(PLOS ONE, 2013-02-20)
Background
Improved characterization of infectious disease dynamics is required. To that end, three-dimensional (3D) data analysis of feedback-like processes may be considered.
Methods
To detect infectious disease data ...

Differential attractiveness of human foot odours to Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) and variation in their chemical composition
(Science Direct, 2013-10-01)
Counter flow geometry (CFG) traps (American Biophysics) baited with foot odours (adsorbed overnight on a combination of a nylon and a cotton socks) from 4 groups of 4 male volunteers were initially used in a screen-house ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in selected sewage sludge in Nigeria.
(Chemosphere, 2013-07-03)
Levels of seven major perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) and three perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) were analyzed for the first time in sludge from wastewater treatment plants from Nigeria. Measurements were performed ...
Faecal pollution and solar purification of community water sources within Lake Naivasha basin, Kenya.
(Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development, 2013-04-03)
As in other parts of Africa, and in other developing nations, the rise in the human population and anthropogenic activities within the Lake Naivasha basin is causing an increase in human health risks due to faecal contamination ...
Bioaccumulation of perfluoroalkyl acids in dairy cows in a naturally contaminated environment.
(Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2013-05-04)
Beef and dairy products may be important vectors of human exposure to perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), but the understanding of how PFAAs are accumulated and transferred through agricultural food chains is very limited. Here, ...
