Mashup Score: 1Study: Baloxavir cuts household flu transmission by 29% - 5 hour(s) ago
University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 The flu antiviral baloxavir can reduce flu transmission in households, raising the possibility that it could be used alongside other tools to reduce the annual burden of the disease and as a strategy in a pandemic setting, an international team of researchers reported yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine. About one third of flu transmission occurs in households, where the risk of transmission is as high as 38%. Given that

University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 A systematic review and meta-analysis indicates that adding a low dose of a widely available antimalaria drug to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is as safe and effective at blocking Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission in young children as it is in older children and adults in areas of low- and moderate-to-high transmission. The study, published yesterday in The Lancet Infectious Diseases in advance of World Malaria Day by

Mashup Score: 21'On the precipice of disaster': Measles may be endemic in 25 years if vaccine uptake stays low, model predicts - 5 hour(s) ago
University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 Without a 5% higher measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination rate, measles may revert to endemicity in the United States within 25 years, while a 10% decline in vaccination could lead to 11.1 million cases of the highly contagious illness in that timeframe, according to predictions from a simulation model published today in JAMA. Also today, the World Health Organization (WHO); UNICEF; and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance warn that burgeoning
