Due to their simplicity, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are used to diagnose malaria in areas lacking expert microscopists, specifically PfHRP2-based RDTs. However, the emergence …
Dengue virus (DENV) infection presents a significant global health threat, especially in Indonesia. This study focuses on identification and genetic characterization of circulating DENV isolates in Timika and Jambi through serotyping, genotyping, and mutation analysis to understand genetic diversity and transmission dynamics. Samples from 119 and 115 suspected dengue patients in Timika and J…

The drugs were administered by the people once or twice a year depending on the prevalence of their region. The Indonesian government has applied this …
Anemia is a global major problem where there is a reduction in hemoglobin level that could be caused by several factors such as helminth infection that induces iron deficiency anemia. The purpose of this research is to find out the association between Helminth infection and Anemia and the prevalence of helminthiasis among anemic pregnant women. Articles with relevant data containing compreh…
Anemia is a global problem, especially in tropical countries. Helminth infection is one of the common factors that cause anemia. It is caused by the parasite that takes the nutrition inside the body and blood, which can cause iron loss. This initiative investigates the prevalence of helminth infection in anemic children and the link between helminthiasis and anemia as a screening for a comp…
