We included all diagnosed TB episodes, regardless of site of TB (pulmonary, extra-pulmonary, or unknown) and of bacteriological confirmation, to assess overall mortality at a programme level.
As a direct confirmation to assess whether coastal plain regions may have served as refugia for Narceus during the glacial maximum, values were extracted from the niche-based distribution model using the paleoclimatic data set (see methods below).
The purpose of this study was to assess methods for the confirmation of congenital toxoplasmosis after maternal treatment with spiramycin during pregnancy, and to evaluate the effect of this treatment on clinical manifestations of the disease in newborns (NB).
