Changes in human ecology and behavior in relation to the emergence of diarrheal diseases, including cholera.

Author(s) : Levine, M M , Levine, O S
Description : Human populations throughout the world can be found in diverse conditions. A proportion of the population of developing countries lives in deprived conditions characterized by ramshackle housing, lack of piped water and sanitation, and widespread fecal contamination of the environment. Enteric infec...

Vaccination against typhoid fever: present status.

Description : Typhoid fever remains an underestimated important health problem in many developing countries, causing more than 600,000 deaths annually in the world. Because of the reactogenicity of the parenteral, killed whole-cell vaccine, research has been oriented towards vaccination orally using live organism...

Weak serum and intestinal antibody responses to Vibrio cholerae soluble hemagglutinin in cholera patients.

Description : A soluble hemagglutinin/protease from Vibrio cholerae has been suggested to be a putative virulence factor and protective antigen. However, clinical cholera infection gave rise to detectable serum antibody responses to soluble hemagglutinin in only 2 of 10 Bangladeshi patients or 1 of 17 cholera-inf...

Sensitivity of Moore sewer swabs for isolating Salmonella typhi.

Description : Moore swabs (sewer swabs) have been used successfully to culture pathogenic organisms from wastewater. Sensitivity seems to depend on the size of the waterway sampled as well as the number of organisms present. In Santiago, Chile, we placed 24 swabs into the sewers draining the homes of 10 known chr...

Usefulness of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of Giardia antigen in feces.

Description : The usefulness of a recently developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay which detects Giardia lamblia antigen in feces was determined in experimentally infected humans. Giardia antigen was determined in serially collected fecal specimens from humans inoculated with two Giardia isolates, GS/M and Is...

Infecting dose and severity of typhoid: analysis of volunteer data and examination of the influence of the definition of illness used.

Description : Data from volunteers challenged with Salmonella typhi were reanalysed to explore the relationship between challenge dose and severity of disease. Among 120 ill volunteers who received between 10(5) and 10(9) organisms, dose was weakly correlated with peak temperature (r = 0.22, 95% CI 0.04-0.39), du...

Potential for reacquisition of cholera enterotoxin genes by attenuated Vibrio cholerae vaccine strain CVD 103-HgR.

Description : The potential for reacquisition of ctxA genes by attenuated Vibrio cholerae O1 vaccine strain CVD 103-HgR was examined by performing a series of mating experiments under a variety of in vivo and in vitro conditions. We found no evidence that CVD 103-HgR could reacquire ctxA genes from wild-type V. c...
