BACKGROUND:Diagnosis of tuberculosis in people living with HIV is challenging due to non-specific clinical presentations and inadequately sensitive diagnostic tests. The WHO recommends screening using a clinical algorithm followed by rapid diagnosis

Publikováno v: PLoS ONE, Vol 9, Iss 6, p e100720 (2014)

This study compared TB diagnostic tools and estimated levels of misdiagnosis in a resource-limited setting. Furthermore, we estimated the diagnostic utility of three-TB-associated predictors in an algorithm with and without Direct Ziehl-Neelsen (DZM)

Risk-targeted selection of agricultural holdings for post-epidemic surveillance: estimation of efficiency gains.

Autor: Ian G Handel, Barend M de C Bronsvoort, John F Forbes, Mark E J Woolhouse

Publikováno v: PLoS ONE, Vol 6, Iss 5, p e20064 (2011)

Current post-epidemic sero-surveillance uses random selection of animal holdings. A better strategy may be to estimate the benefits gained by sampling each farm and use this to target selection. In this study we estimate the probability of undiscover

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most important transboundary animal diseases affecting livestock and wildlife species worldwide. Sustained viral circulation, as evidenced by serological surveys and the recurrence of outbreaks, suggests end
