Global numbers of infection and disease burden of soil transmitted helminth infections in 2010

Rachel L. Pullan, Jennifer L. Smith, Rashmi Jasrasaria et al. · 1 Jan 2014

BACKGROUND: Quantifying the burden of parasitic diseases in relation to other diseases and injuries requires reliable estimates of prevalence for each disease and an analytic framework within which to estimate attributable morbidity and mortality. Here we use data included in the Global Atlas of Helminth Infection to derive new global estimates of numbers infected with…

Driving forces for changes in geographical distribution of Ixodes ricinus ticks in Europe

Jolyon M. Medlock, Kayleigh M. Hansford, Antra Bormane et al. · 2 Jan 2013

Many factors are involved in determining the latitudinal and altitudinal spread of the important tick vector Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Europe, as well as in changes in the distribution within its prior endemic zones. This paper builds on published literature and unpublished expert opinion from the VBORNET network with the aim of reviewing the…

LeishVet guidelines for the practical management of canine leishmaniosis

Laia Solano‐Gallego, Guadalupe Miró, Alek Koutinas et al. · 20 May 2011

The LeishVet group has formed recommendations designed primarily to help the veterinary clinician in the management of canine leishmaniosis. The complexity of this zoonotic infection and the wide range of its clinical manifestations, from inapparent infection to severe disease, make the management of canine leishmaniosis challenging. The recommendations were constructed by combining a comprehensive review…

The dominant Anopheles vectors of human malaria in Africa, Europe and the Middle East: occurrence data, distribution maps and bionomic précis

Marianne Sinka, Michael J. Bangs, Sylvie Manguin et al. · 1 Dec 2010

BACKGROUND: This is the second in a series of three articles documenting the geographical distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of human malaria. The first paper addressed the DVS of the Americas and the third will consider those of the Asian Pacific Region. Here, the DVS of Africa, Europe and the Middle East are…

A global map of dominant malaria vectors

Marianne Sinka, Michael J. Bangs, Sylvie Manguin et al. · 4 Apr 2012

BACKGROUND: Global maps, in particular those based on vector distributions, have long been used to help visualise the global extent of malaria. Few, however, have been created with the support of a comprehensive and extensive evidence-based approach. METHODS: Here we describe the generation of a global map of the dominant vector species (DVS) of malaria…
