RESUMO

The emergence of a novel strain of coronavirus in the Arabian Peninsula raised a global health concern in 2012, partly because the majority of human infections were fatal and partly due to its presumed animal origin. An urgent meeting of scientific and public health experts was convened by WHO in January 2013 in view of the limited knowledge available on the epidemiological and natural history of infection with this novel virus. The meeting reviewed current evidence and identified critical knowledge gaps to improve better understanding of the public health risk associated with the virus so as to improve preparedness and to safeguard and protect global health

RESUMO

In August 2013, the WHO Regional Office for Europe organized a technical meeting to discuss requirements for developing environmentally friendly health systems and to contribute to the development of a roadmap with strategic direction on how this topic could be further developed across WHO European Member States. The meeting also allowed for lessons learnt to be shared from a variety of European local and regional initiatives. The development of these documents represents a first major step in a long-term ongoing process of greening the health sector.

RESUMO

This study aimed to carry out a malaria situation analysis, species composition and susceptibility levels of the main malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi, to different insecticides in Bashagard. A longitudinal survey was conducted in 2 randomly selected villages in Bashagard. Malaria vectors were sampled by dipping method for the larvae and hand catch, night-biting catch, total catch, and shelter pit collection for the adults. Standard WHO susceptibility tests were used for a variety of insecticides on F1 progeny of An. stephensi reared from wild-caught females. In total, 693 adult anopheline mosquitoes and 839 third and fourth-instar larvae were collected and identified. They comprised 7 species; the most abundant adult and larvae anopheline mosquito was An. Dthali [40.7% and 30.5% respectively]. An. Culicifacies[24.2%] and An. Stephensi [16.7%] were the next most common species for adult mosquitoes. An. Stephensi was fully susceptible to malathion and pyrethroid insecticides but resistant to DDT and tolerant to dieldrin

RESUMO

A study was done of the bionomics, insecticide susceptibility and irritability status of Anopheles culicifacies in Sistan va Baluchestan province. Sampling was performed to determine the following parameters: species identification, seasonal activity, adult and larval susceptibility tests, irritability tests, anthropophily index and sporozoite rate. An. culicifacies adults were susceptible to all tested pyrethroid insecticides. An. culicifacies started to appear indoors in late May, showing 2 peaks in June and September. Fenitrothion, cyfluthrin and permethrin had the least irritancy effect and DDT the highest. Only 2/860 females tested were infected with Plasmodium spp. [sporozoite rate: 0.25%]. EL1SA testing of 250 blood meals derived from night-biting collections of female mosquitoes from humans and cows revealed that only 12.5% were human-fed

RESUMO

The release of genetically-modified Aedes aegypti males is considered an effective method of suppressing this vector of dengue. One of the prerequisites is the capability to mass produce the genetically-modified mosquito in the laboratory before release. To do so would necessitate the understanding of the lifecycle and parameters of the transformed strain. In this regard, comparative life-history parameters of a wild-type laboratory strain of Ae. aegypti (WT) and a genetically transformed Ae. aegypti (LA513) were studied in the laboratory. The following parameters were statistically indistinguishable in both strains: the number of eggs laid, the number of unhatched eggs, the egg-hatching rate, the duration of larval period in all four instars, larval survivorship, pupation, adult eclosion rate, gonotrophic cycle, adult fecundity, adult lifespan and offspring sex ratio. The basic life-history and growth rate of the genetically-modified Ae. aegypti was not affected by genetic manipulation and that its mating competitiveness will remain intact, which is important for the successful use of this technology.
