The objective of the present study was to evaluate, in the field conditions, the ICT sensitivity in low endemicity settings, especially in individuals exhibiting low intensity of LF infection, with the ultimate goal to check whether ICT might remain suitable to evaluate the success of LF elimination program.
All the genetic groups could be linked to areas that are likely to have remained suitable for the respective species in the late Pleistocene.
Conditions over most of southern Australia appear to have remained suitable for population persistence, allowing endemic lineages of these lizards to persist.
RBCs deteriorated somewhat during storage, but when compared with human in vitro parameters, remained suitable for transfusion.
For species with a higher chilling requirement of more than 1000 hours (e.g., apples, cherries and pears), only 4% of the area in the Central Valley was suitable in 2000, and virtually no areas remained suitable by 2041 2060 under any emissions scenario.
Following screening and review, only 5 heterogeneous papers remained suitable and were included.
We retrieved 455 articles from our database search, 25 of which remained suitable for inclusion in our meta-analysis after our iterative screening process.
Because of the markedly different stage of intensification in India and Ethiopia minor differences in survey questions were accommodated while ensuring that the collected data remained suitable for combined analysis and meaningful comparisons.
Participant's assessments about whether cases remained suitable for continuing midwife led care across vignettes were not significantly different between midwives from units stratified by distance to acute care, by high /low transfer rate or between midwives and obstetricians (Table 9).
After considering only those sites where the average degree of heteroplasmy was greater than 10% in both datasets and where the Pearson correlation r between 100× and 500× coverage data was higher than 0.9, six sites remained suitable for association testing (Supplemental Experimental Procedures; Table S4).
