Evaluation of the Queensland JEV vaccine program response to the 2022 Australian outbreak.

In 2022, the largest ever virgin soil outbreak of Japanese encephalitis (JE) occurred in Australia resulting in 45 reported human cases of JE, with seven fatalities. Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) was detected in 84 piggeries across Australia. In response, states implemented targeted vaccination programs for those individuals at the highest risk of JEV exposure.

The Major Domains of Comprehensive Assessment Tools for Older Adults Requiring Home-Based Aged Care Services: A Systematic Review.

Background/objectives: The global population is aging rapidly, increasing the need for appropriate health care. Older people often prefer to remain in their homes for as long as possible as they age. Therefore, it is crucial to assess their overall health and understand the individualized care needs for developing tailored home care services.

Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes present in Việt Nam against brown marmorated stink bug () under laboratory conditions.

The brown marmorated stink bug (), a native of Asia, has become an invasive pest in North America and Europe. Given the severity of and the need for better and environmentally-friendly control methods for this pest, we evaluated the virulence four entomopathogenic nematode species (, and ) that occur naturally in soils in southern Việt Nam and compared them with that of a commercially available strain of . We report for the first time the pathogenicity of towards BMSB.

Rapid on-site detection of viable Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seafood using cis-diamminedichloroplatinum and colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (CDDP-LAMP).

Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seafood and marine environments poses significant health risks, causing gastroenteritis worldwide. Current detection methods fail to differentiate live from dead cells, leading to inaccuracies in food safety assessments. This study introduces a novel method combining cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) with direct colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for rapid and accurate detection of viable V.

Association between overweight/obesity and iron deficiency anaemia among women of reproductive age: a systematic review.

Objective: Numerous studies have examined the relationship between overweight/obesity and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) across diverse population groups, but a definitive link has not been clearly determined. This systematic review examined the association between overweight/obesity and IDA in women of reproductive age (WRA).

Design: The initial search was performed in the CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases.
