GLOBAL BURDEN OF LEPTOSPIROSIS: ESTIMATED IN TERMS OF DISABILITY ADJUSTED LIFE YEARS.


Use and limitations of malaria rapid diagnostic testing by community health workers in war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract Background Accurate and practical malaria diagnostics, such as immunochromatographic rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), have the potential to avert unnecessary treatments and save lives.Volunteer community health workers (CHWs) represent a potentially valuable human resource for expanding this technology to where it is most needed, remote rura

Innovative Systems for the Delivery of Naturally Occurring Antimicrobial Volatiles in Active Food-Packaging Technologies for Fresh and Minimally Processed Produce: Stimuli-Responsive Materials

Certain naturally occurring volatile organic compounds are able to mitigate food spoilage caused by microbial growth.Their considerable vapor pressure enables them to create an antimicrobial atmosphere within a package, and this property can be used for the development of active food-packaging technologies.The volatility of these molecules, however
