A new @PLOSGPH study sheds light on the mental health impact of extreme climate events, showing that flooding of compounds and latrine flooding are associated with higher depression among pregnant women living in riverine communities in rural Bangladesh. cutt.ly/3rGLeMra


Moderate to severe malnutrition is a more important risk factor for mortality than aflatoxin in acutely ill children, but aflatoxin exposure increases risk of mortality in the absence of acute malnutrition. Read more: cutt.ly/crGKUQzA


A new study identified 4 bacterial species that were significantly lower in abundance in typhoid fever patients compared with asymptomatic household contacts in Bangladesh & Malawi, suggesting they may protect against clinical infection following exposure to Salmonella Typhi.

Sequencing-based analysis of Bangladeshi patients with Rett syndrome-like features revealed 51.9% carried mutations in the MECP2 gene, which is known to be linked to Rett syndrome, and identified 6 novel candidate genes linked to Rett-like symptoms. cutt.ly/qrGKsAox

A recent study showed that rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can replace traditional slide agglutination methods to confirm Vibrio cholerae colonies belonging to the dominant O1 serogroup, providing a cheaper & faster alternative in resource-limited settings. cutt.ly/urGKt5no


Stakeholders once again urge #Bangladesh to add the #rotavirus #vaccine to its National Immunisation Programme, citing the urgent need to protect children from severe diarrhoea and save thousands of young lives each year. 👉icddrb.org/news/stakehold…

A @NatureComms study reports a novel genetic test that can distinguish between reinfection and relapse in individuals with recurrence of malarial infection by Plasmodium vivax. The test revealed a lower rate of relapse in patients treated with primaquine. cutt.ly/zrGWvXlZ


Wastewater surveillance can reveal an uptick in typhoid-causing bacteria 13 days before the rise of clinical cases. If applied to launching targeted typhoid vaccination campaigns, it could massively reduce hospitalizations, deaths, and associated costs. cutt.ly/3rGWgisT


A new study — from a global team including icddr,b researchers — reports promising results from a trial of a novel vaccine against the diarrheal pathogen Shigella in an animal model, supporting further development of the vaccine and possibly human trials. cutt.ly/GrGWox8g


A multi-country study on diarrheal disease in under-5 children reported that indirect costs from diarrhea — like lost income and decreased productivity — tend to be higher than direct costs like doctor fees, medication, and patient transportation. cutt.ly/OrGl8E6R


Pig-to-human transmission can lead to Nipah outbreaks, and preventing infection in pigs may protect humans. A global team of researchers, including at icddr,b, recently reported promising results from a trial of 3 Nipah virus vaccines on Bangladeshi pigs. cutt.ly/urGlC8O8


icddr,b scientists developed and validated an assay to test the ability of anti-Nipah antibodies to neutralize the virus, a key step in vaccine evaluation. The assay sidesteps the need to culture the virus, allowing its use in resource-limited settings. cutt.ly/9rGlZE6M
