Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic diversity of the mosquito species Culex annulirostris, a significant arbovirus vector in Australasia, confirming it comprises at least two distinct species based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses.
- Researchers developed 12 microsatellite markers and studied over 500 individuals to assess population genetics across Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Archipelago.
- Findings reveal two main genetically distinct populations of Cx. annulirostris in mainland Australia, with potential admixture in certain regions, highlighting the species' complex population structure and geographical distribution.
Background: The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify emergent rehabilitation innovations and clinician perceptions influencing their implementation and outcomes related to hospital discharge decision-making during the Coronavirus 2019 pandemic.
Methods: Rehabilitation clinicians were recruited from the Veterans Affairs Health Care System and participated in individual semi-structured interviews guided by the integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework. Data were analyzed using a rapid qualitative, deductive team-based approach informed by directed content analysis.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in care that adversely affected the management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally. Countries have responded in various ways to support people with NCDs during the pandemic. This study aimed to identify policy gaps, if any, in the management of NCDs, particularly diabetes, during COVID-19 in Kenya and Tanzania to inform recommendations for priority actions for NCD management during any future similar crises.

The disparities in CRC screening were made worse during the pandemic, creating an unmet need to implement evidence-based, multilevel interventions to improve CRC screening uptake. This can be achieved through an organized outreach program with identification of screen-eligible individuals using health records from the clinic; and a screening program with the following: (1) a mailed invitation, (2) a package of materials so patients can complete a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kit from their homes, (3) reminder calls and a letter, and (4) navigation to a diagnostic colonoscopy.
