Despite improvements in environmental sanitation and healthcare, the infection rate of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) remains high in low socioeconomic regions of developing countries including Vietnam. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and intensity of STH infections among primary school children in Meo Vac, Ha Giang: a poor mountainous province in Vietnam. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from October to November 2023, involving 400 participants.

In low- and middle-income countries, including Vietnam, its relative incidence, especially in children, is unknown and most neurologists currently consider infectious encephalitis prior to autoimmune etiologies.

In this study, we present a novel distance-based paper analytical device (d-PAD) for the fluorescence sensing of DPA. The detection mechanism relies on the complexation of ofloxacin (OFL) with Cu ions, where Cu quenches the fluorescence of OFL static quenching.

It is found in southern Vietnam, where it occurs at an elevation of 1400-1500 m in Voi Mountain, Duc Trong District, Lam Dong Province. This new species is distinguished from a similar species, , by culm nodes with a thick swollen patella, culm leaf blades erect, auricles conspicuous, margins bearing long hairs, palea dorsal view showing rachilla extension and rudimentary floret at the apex and lodicules purple gradually towards the top.

Article Synopsis
- In Myanmar, different types of pig farming coexist, but there's a lack of understanding about the zoonotic risks and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) linked to these practices, prompting this study focused on Salmonella.
- The study found a significant prevalence of Salmonella across various pig farms, with backyard farms having the highest incidence, and intensive farms showing a concerning level of multi-drug resistant strains.
- The research highlighted the presence of various Salmonella serovars, especially in semi-intensive and backyard farms, indicating a need for future monitoring and risk management to address zoonotic concerns and AMR in pig farming.
