We compared the accuracy of our new tool, MixInfect2, against previous methods (MixInfect [6], SplitStrains [16], and QuantTB [18]) for detecting mixed infections and to estimate the major strain proportion from the dataset of 36 in vitro mixed samples and 12 non-mixed (“pure”) strains. The average coverage in all these samples was relatively high, ranging from 356- to 482-fold.

DiscussionWe report good clinical outcome in a cohort of 29 individuals who received mROM for leprosy and were followed for a median period of 3.1 years. The proportion of individuals who experienced a leprosy reaction was 58.6% which is consistent with leprosy reaction rates of approximately 65% at three years in a large Brazilian cohort of individuals with MB leprosy treated with WHO MDT containing rifampicin, clofazimine and dapsone for six or 12 months [5].

AbstractAttractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) have the potential to significantly reduce infective female Anopheles mosquitoes in arid areas, such as in Northern Mali. Malaria is epidemic in the north due to the limited viability of Anopheles species in the desert climate. The goal of this study was to determine of the effect of ATSB on the number of older female An. gambiae and on the number of sporozoite-positive females in villages in northern Mali. Villages were located in the north of Mali.
