Malian field isolates provide insight into Plasmodium malariae intra-erythrocytic development and invasion.

Plasmodium malariae is the third most prevalent human malaria parasite species and contributes significantly to morbidity. Nevertheless, our comprehension of this parasite's biology remains limited, primarily due to its frequent co-infections with other species and the lack of a continuous in vitro culture system. To effectively combat and eliminate this overlooked parasite, it is imperative to acquire a better understanding of this species.

The impact of HIV antiretroviral therapy on gut microbiota: the need for well-designed longitudinal studies.

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a major public health concern despite a significant decline in HIV-related mortality and morbidity. These significant advances are linked mostly to effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, these treatments are not without consequences on other microorganisms in our body, especially when they must be used for life.

Analytic performance of ScreenFire HPV RS assay Zebra BioDome format and its potential for large-scale population HPV screening.

Background: Easy-to-use, rapid, scalable, high-throughput, and cost-effective HPV tests are urgently needed for low-resource settings. Atila Biosystems' high-throughput, cost-effective, and clinically validated ScreenFire HPV Risk Stratification (RS) assay identifies 13 high risk HPV (hrHPV) in 4 groups based on their oncogenic risk (i.e.

Distribution of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus in Self-Collected Cervicalvaginal Samples from the General Malian Population.

Cervical cancer (CC) remains a real public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, where technical resources and competent personnel are insufficient. Persistent cervix infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (Hr-HPV) is the main cause of CC development. In the current study, we examined the distribution of Hr-HPV in the general healthy Malian population using cervicovaginal self- sampling.
