Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B is commonly transmitted from mother to child during birth, and current prevention methods, like immunoprophylaxis for newborns, can fail, especially in high-risk mothers.
- Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is identified as a first-line treatment that effectively reduces the risk of this vertical transmission in pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B.
- A systematic review showed that TDF significantly lowers the rate of hepatitis B transmission from mother to child without increasing risks of complications for the mother or baby.
Filariasis and virus diseases that are transmitted by are still a global health problem. Control of mosquito vectors with synthetic insecticides causes resistance to these mosquitoes to insecticides so that detection of susceptibility of the mosquito larval stage to insecticides is important for evaluating mosquito control programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of wild-caught larvae in Jakarta, Indonesia, following exposure to temephos, malathion, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin; this was done by examining the detoxifying enzyme activities and histological damage to the larval midgut.
