Human pathogenic diseases are on the rampage in the list of debilitating diseases globally. The endless quest to salvage this menace through various therapies via innocuous agents is essential to overcome these drug-resistant pathogens. This study engaged a benign, facile, biocompatible, cost-effective and eco-friendly approach to synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO-NPs) via a composite of Psidium guavaja-Moringa oleifera (PMC) leaf extract to address six most debilitating bacterial strain in vitro as an antibacterial agent.

Schistosomiasis is a snail-transmitted infectious disease affecting over 200 million people worldwide. Snail control has been recognized as an effective approach to interrupt the transmission of schistosomiasis, since the geographic distribution of this neglected tropical disease is determined by the presence of the intermediate host snails. In a recent Scoping Review published in Infectious Diseases of Poverty, Coelho and Caldeira performed a critical review of using molluscicides in the national schistosomiasis control programs in Brazil.

Background: The serial interval is a fundamentally important quantity in infectious disease epidemiology that has numerous applications to inferring patterns of transmission from case data. Many of these applications are apropos of efforts to eliminate falciparum malaria from locations throughout the world, yet the serial interval for this disease is poorly understood quantitatively.
Methods: To obtain a quantitative estimate of the serial interval for falciparum malaria, the sum of the components of the falciparum malaria transmission cycle was taken based on a combination of mathematical models and empirical data.

Currently, China is moving towards the elimination of schistosomiasis japonica. In a previous review, the factors affecting the progress towards the elimination of transmission of schistosomiasis in China have been summarized. Nevertheless, some factors were neglected.
