Heute ist Welt-NTD-Tag!
Vernachlässigte Tropenkrankheiten (#NTDs) betreffen weltweit Millionen Menschen, erhalten aber oft wenig Aufmerksamkeit.
Unser NTD-Projekt hat regelmäßig NTDs hervorgehoben, die besonders selten betrachtet werden. Eine davon ist die Krätze (#Scabies), die auch in #Europa ein Comeback erlebt.Mehr zum Thema NTDs auf unserer Homepage: https://bukopharma.de/themen/vernachlaessigte-tropenkrankheiten/

#safely eradicate #parasites via #gene-drive
#medical : lice, scabies : #gene_drive
#lice (body, pubic, head) & #mites (' #scabies ') and #bedbugs have no #natural_predators , it would be fantastically amazing to have a #genedrive to #eradicate the sometimes-lethal insects. Last year, it was widely reported, one on the east coast had died -- was literally eaten alive by a parasite colony in jail. No treatment had been granted, despite repeat complaints. More recently, prisoners in #ice jails, families & children in #Gaza , and held in #Israeli #prisons have reported being deliberately #infected with scabies and lice, suffering horribly. Also #RX #treatment_resistance - much like #antibiotic_resistance w #superbugs - to conventional RX (#antiparasitics ) has skyrocketed: in late 1990s, efficacy was ~97% in USA. But a decade ago by 2016, dropped to ~35%. Today, the identical treatment is prescribed as 30 years ago. Finally, said #drugs = #neurotoxin #nerve_damage . A #genedrive could fix all of that. What is it? A gene edit which makes 100% of all offspring male: no females = inability to #reproduce and it perpetuates every generation so an edited male reproduces w nonedited female and all eggs become male, also carrying the gene-edit.... And eventually the colony depopulates entirely. A very fast & effective cure ..... versus.... a months-long hopeless battle dousing one's body in vinegar, daily, plus numerous other toxins & nerve damage. -

Folk have been making overblown medical claims for cold water for a long-time.
Turns out one of the first proposals for a controlled trial (on #scabies fwiw) was a C19th Irish Dr trolling a cold-water proponent.

I'm off to the #BASHH conference in #Bournemouth next month, but my coach tickets mean I'm going to have to leave early.
Just checking the program to see what I'm going to miss:
+ BASHH national guidelines
+ #Scabies Guidelines - What's new for 2024?
+ #DoxyPEP Guideline Update
+ Management of #Gonorrhoea Guide -

''Disease #surveillance systems are hampered, but syndromic surveillance has noted increases in infectious diseases, including acute respiratory infections, #scabies, #jaundice, #diarrhoea, and bloody diarrhoea. Shelters in the south are also reporting cases of acute jaundice syndrome, a worrisome signal of #hepatitis.''

As part of multi-disciplinary teams in Ghana and Togo, I’ve been pleased to be part of research that has been looking into NTDs a little more. For example, we described #scabies and other #skininfections reported to urban and rural health centres in Ghana, looking at healthcare-seeking behaviour.
