The assessment of the nutritional status of the hospitalized person is often considered secondary to the pathologies justifying hospitalization. A multicenter study conducted in six Belgian hospitals showed a risk of malnutrition in just over one in five patients. This malnutrition during hospitalization is more frequent in the elderly and tho(...)

Modelling the effects of diurnal temperature variation on malaria infection dynamics in mosquitoes.
Stopard IJ, Sanou A, Suh E, Cator LJ, Thomas MB, Guelbéogo WM, Sagnon N, Lambert B, Churcher TS.
Mosquito infection experiments that characterise how sporogony changes with temperature are increasingly being used to parameterise malaria transmission models. In these experiments, mosquitoes are exposed to a range of temperatures, with each group experiencing a single temperature. Diurnal temperature variation can, however, affect the sporo(...)

Long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays have played a major role in significantly reducing the burden of malaria. However, the management of mosquitoes resistant to current insecticides continues to be challenging. A promising new strategy is drug-based vector control where drugs are administered to vector hosts (human/animal(...)
