Background: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) based on Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2-RDTs) are widely used for malaria diagnosis. However, the efficacy of PfHRP2-RDTs is compromised by deletions and genetic variations in the pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes. [...]

Background Malaria is the parasitic disease with the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide. Angola is one of the five sub-Saharan African countries with the highest malaria burden. Real-time PCR diagnosis in endemic areas has not been implemented due to its high cost and the need for adequate infrastructure. [...]

18 p, 5.6 MB Where have all the farmers gone? Spatial-temporal transformations of peri-urban agriculture in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona / Langemeyer, Johannes (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Gervasi, Gabriele (Università di Siena) ; Ventura, Sergi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Villalba, Gara (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental) ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Departament de Ciències de la Computació
Urban expansion exerts pressure on peri-urban agriculture, leading to the displacement of agricultural activities and a loss of local food provision and vital ecosystem services. This study examines the spatial-temporal transformations of peri-urban agriculture in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, a region that has experienced significant agricultural decline in recent decades.
