The genus Libengaia Linnavuori is redescribed along with one new subgenus Libengaia (Nandiana) subgen. nov. (type species: Litura bharatiensis Malhotra & Sharma) and one new species, L. (Nandiana) ramamurthyi sp. nov. (India: Jarkhand). In addition, five new species of the genus from West Africa, L. (Libengaia) brevistylus sp. nov. (Cameroon), L. (L.) deemingi sp. nov. (Nigeria), L. (L.) immaculata sp. nov. (Cameroon), L. (L.) longistylus sp. nov. (Cameroon) and L. (L) trifida sp. nov. (Nigeria) are described and illustrated. Cestius terminaliae Viraktamath syn. nov. is treated as a junior synonym of Libengaia (Nandiana) bharatiensis (Malhotra & Sharma). L. (L.) deemingi breeds on Terminalia avicennioides Guill. & Perr. and is attended by an ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). L. (N.) bharatiensis also breeds on Terminalia arjuna (Roxb., Wight & Arn.) (Conbretaceae) and shows considerable colour variation.

Incidental venous thrombosis in oncology in a sub-Saharan tertiary hospital.
Ecancermedicalscience
November 2024
Medical Oncology, General Hospital, PO Box 5408, Yaoundé, Cameroon.
The relationship between cancer and thrombosis was initially highlighted in the 19th century. Vascular complications in oncology can be arterial or venous thrombosis, and incidental pulmonary embolism is a growing challenge. We aimed to describe the frequency and clinical characteristics of cancer patients with incidental venous thromboembolism (iVTE).

Methods: We performed whole genome sequencing of 430 Mtbc strains cultured between 2012 and 2022. Phylogenetic strain classification, genomic resistance prediction, and cluster analysis were also performed.

Dual therapies (DT) combining integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) with second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (2nd-Gen-NNRTIs) offer new possibilities for HIV treatment to improve adherence. However, drug resistance associated mutations (RAMs) to prior antiretrovirals may jeopardize the efficacy of DT. We herein describe the predicted efficacy of DT combining INSTIs + 2nd-Gen-NNRTI following treatment failure among Cameroonian patients.

Parasite Epidemiol Control
November 2024
Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: In low-and-middle income countries, national representative household surveys such as the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and the Malaria Indicator Surveys (MIS) are routinely carried out to assess the malaria risk and the coverage of related interventions. A two-stage sampling design was used to identify clusters and households within each cluster. To ensure confidentiality, DHS made the data available after jittering (displacement) of the geographical coordinates of the clusters, shifting their original locations within a radius of 10 km.
