DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-09313-0
Abstract: Background African giant pouched rats, trained by Anti-Persoonsmijnen Ontmijnende Product Ontwikkeling (APOPO), have demonstrated their ability to detect tuberculosis (TB) from sputum. We assessed rat-based case detection and compared the mycobacterium bacillary load (MTB-load) in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1903-z
Abstract: BackgroundReactive case detection could be a powerful tool in malaria elimination, as it selectively targets transmission pockets. However, field operations have yet to demonstrate under which conditions, if any, reactive case detection is best poised… read more here.
