(Springer, 2020-04)The contribution of veterinary growth promoters (VGP) to the environmental burden of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is largely unknown. At cattle feedlots, the excrement of cattle may contain VGPs, which can contaminate ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020-06)Dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) is an organochlorine insecticide that is banned internationally except for use as part of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) programs to control malaria. Although animal studies show that ...
-
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-11)Pyrogenic silica and organoclay nanocomposite strands containing liquid mosquito repellents were prepared by twinscrew extrusion compounding. The mosquito repellents DEET and Icaridin were immobilized in the pores of a ...
-
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-11)FTIR, in ATR and in transmission modes, enabled the tracking of the migration of the insecticide Chlorfenapyr to the surface of a polymer film. It also allowed estimation of the apparent solubility in the polymer. However, ...
-
(MDPI Publishing, 2020-07-08)This research study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of drought based on the joint distribution of two dependent variables, the duration and severity, in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2020-04-15)BACKGROUND : KwaZulu-Natal, one of South Africa’s three malaria endemic provinces, is nearing malaria elimination, reporting fewer than 100 locally-acquired cases annually since 2010. Despite sustained implementation of ...
-
(PAGEpress, 2019)There has been a conspicuous increase in malaria cases since 2016/2017 over the three malaria-endemic provinces of South Africa. This increase has been linked to climatic and environmental factors. In the absence of ...
-
(BioMed Central (BMC), 2019-06)BACKGROUND: To reduce onward falciparum malaria transmission, the World Health Organization recommends adding single low-dose (SLD) primaquine to artemisinin-based combination treatment in low transmission areas. ...
-
(Wiley, 2020-06)Most data on species associations and vector potential of mosquitoes in relation to arboviral infections in South Africa date back from the 1940s to late 1990s. Contextual information crucial for disease risk management ...
-
(Wiley, 2020-03)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(Oxford University Press, 2019-10)No abstract available.
-
(BioMed Central, 2019-08-22)BACKGROUND : The ability of Plasmodium falciparum parasites to develop resistance to widely used anti-malarials threatens malaria control and elimination efforts. Regular drug efficacy monitoring is essential for ensuring ...
-
(Wiley, 2019-12)An upsurge in African horse sickness (AHS) in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, from 2006 led to an epidemiological reassessment of the disease there. Light trapping surveys carried out near horses, donkeys and zebras in ...
-
(Wiley, 2019-12)African horse sickness (AHS), a disease of equids caused by the AHS virus, is of major concern in South Africa. With mortality reaching up to 95% in susceptible horses and the apparent reoccurrence of cases in regions ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-27)BACKGROUND : In 2015, malaria infected over 212 million people and killed over 429,000 individuals, mostly children under 5 years of age, with 90% of malaria cases occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim was to develop ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-31)Topical repellents play a key role in reducing the outdoor transmission of mosquito-borne diseases by reducing human-vector contact. Excellent repellents are available, but there is always room for improvement. This ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2016-04-12)BACKGROUND : Despite high levels of naturally-acquired immunity (NAI) within local communities in malaria high transmission settings in Africa, such people often experience clinical disease during peak transmission months ...
-
(Faculty of 1000, 2016-04)In this study we tested an alternative method for collecting mosquito larvae called the sweep net catch method and compared its efficiency to that of the traditional dip method. The two methods were compared in various ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2017-01)BACKGROUND : It is widely acknowledged that modifications to existing control interventions are required if South Africa is to achieve malaria elimination. Targeting indoor residual spraying (IRS) to areas where cases ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2016-08-27)BACKGROUND : With a sustained national malaria incidence of fewer than one case per 1000 population at risk, in 2012 South Africa officially transitioned from controlling malaria to the ambitious goal of eliminating malaria ...
