Directing Diarrhoeal Disease Research towards Disease-burden Reduction (2009)

Kosek, Margaret, Lanata, Claudio F., Black, Robert E., Walker, Damian G., Snyder, John D., Salam, Mohammed Abdus, ...

Despite gains in controlling mortality relating to diarrhoeal disease, the burden of disease remains unacceptably high. To refocus health research to target disease-burden reduction as the goal of...

Sonicated Diagnostic Immunoblot for Bartonellosis

Mallqui, Vania, Speelmon, Emily C., Verástegui, Manuela, Maguiña-Vargas, Ciro, Pinell-Salles, Paula, Lavarello, Rosa, ...

Two simple Bartonella bacilliformis immunoblot preparation methods were developed. Antigen was prepared by two different methods: sonication of whole organisms or glycine extraction. Both methods...

Taenia solium Oncosphere Adhesion to Intestinal Epithelial and Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells In Vitro▿

Verastegui, Manuela, Gilman, Robert H., Arana, Yanina, Barber, Dylan, Velásquez, Jeanette, Farfán, Marilu, ...

The specific mechanisms underlying Taenia solium oncosphere adherence and penetration in the host have not been studied previously. We developed an in vitro adhesion model assay to evaluate the...

Rudan, Igor, Gibson, Jennifer L., Ameratunga, Shanthi, El Arifeen, Shams, Bhutta, Zulfiqar A., Black, Maureen, ...

This article provides detailed guidelines for the implementation of systematic method for setting priorities in health research investments that was recently developed by Child Health and Nutrition...

Setting Research Priorities To Reduce Global Mortality from Childhood Diarrhoea by 2015

Fontaine, Olivier, Kosek, Margaret, Bhatnagar, Shinjini, Boschi-Pinto, Cynthia, Chan, Kit Yee, Duggan, Christopher, ...

Olivier Fontaine and colleagues applied a priority-setting methodology to identify research priorities aimed at reducing global diarrhea mortality by 2015.

The global burden of diarrhoeal disease, as estimated from studies published between 1992 and 2000.

Kosek, Margaret, Bern, Caryn, Guerrant, Richard L.

Current estimates of the global burden of disease for diarrhoea are reported and compared with previous estimates made using data collected in 1954-79 and 1980-89. A structured literature review was...
