“…Eleven studies evaluated the presence of S. stercoralis infection only through the investigation of larvae in faeces (Table 1) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The most frequently used microbiological techniques were microscopic examination of faeces by concentration techniques (the Ritchie method) and/or specific larvae culture (the Koga agar plate).…”

Objectives To provide information regarding the prevalence of strongyloidiasis among migrants coming from Strongyloides stercoralis‐endemic areas who reside in Spain. Methods Systematic review of the literature and meta‐analysis of studies showing prevalence of S. stercoralis infection among migrants from Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and Oceania who reside in Spain. We included articles published until 30 April 2019 without language restriction. The keywords used for the search included ‘Strongyloides stercoralis’, ‘strongyloidiasis’, ‘Spain’, ‘screening’ and ‘migrants’. Results Twenty‐four studies were included in the review and meta‐analysis, comprising 12 386 screened people. Eleven studies (7020 patients) evaluated the presence of S. stercoralis infection only through investigation of larvae in faeces, showing an overall prevalence of 1% (95%CI 1–1%). Thirteen studies (5366 patients) used a serological test, showing an overall prevalence of 14% (95%CI 11–17%). Strongyloidiasis seroprevalence was 20% (95%CI 15–24%) among migrants from sub‐Saharan Africa, 14% (95%CI 10–18%) among those from Latin America and 8% (95%CI 5–11%) among migrants from North Africa. Conclusions Migrants coming from strongyloidiasis‐endemic areas living in Spain had a high S. stercoralis infection prevalence, particularly those from sub‐Saharan Africa and Latin America. This population should be screened using serology as the most sensitive test for S. stercoralis infection. This could be easily implemented at primary care level.

“…), global warming and climate change, transportation noise, other pollutants of outdoor and indoor air, etc. could be more significant (Bellinger et al, 2016;Boyd and Genuis, 2008;Clark Iii et al, 2012;Ebi and Nealon, 2016;Henríquez-Hernández et al, 2016;Mohebbi et al, 2013;Vardoulakis et al, 2015;Vienneau et al, 2015;Wells et al, 2011). By inclusion of at least some of these broader causes in future iterations of the GBD, contribution of environmental risks to GBD could be more remarkable and the results would be more accurate.…”

National and sub-national mortality, years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for household air pollution from solid cookfuel use (HAP) in Iran, 1990-2013 were estimated based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013). The burden of disease attributable to HAP was quantified by the comparative risk assessment method using four inputs: (1) exposure to HAP, (2) the theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL), (3) exposure-response relationships of related causes (4) disease burden of related causes. All across the country, solid fuel use decreased from 5.26% in 1990 to 0.15% in 2013. The drastic reduction of solid fuel use leaded to DALYs attributable to HAP fell by 97.8% (95% uncertainty interval 97.7-98.0%) from 87,433 (51072-144303) in 1990 to 1889 (1016-3247) in 2013. Proportion of YLLs in DALYs from HAP decreased from 95.7% in 1990 to 86.6% in 2013. Contribution of causes in the attributable DALYs was variable during the study period and in 2013 was in the following order: ischemic heart disease for 43.4%, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for 24.7%, hemorrhagic stroke for 9.7%, lower respiratory infections for 9.3%, ischemic stroke for 7.8%, lung cancer for 3.4% and cataract for 1.8%. Based on the Gini coefficient, the spatial inequality of the disease burden from HAP increased during the study period. The remained burden of disease was relatively scarce and it mainly occurred in seven southern provinces. Further reduction of the disease burden from HAP as well as compensation of the increasing spatial inequality in Iran could be attained through an especial plan for providing cleaner fuels in the southern provinces.

“…Only a few studies on dioxins and DLCs have been documented in African populations. These include populations in Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, Canary Island-Spain and Ghana (Adu-Kumi et al, 2010b;Asante et al, 2011;Henríquez-Hernández et al, 2016a;Henríquez-Hernández et al, 2016b;Luzardo et al, 2014;Pieters and Focant, 2014;van den Berg et al, 2017;Wittsiepe et al, 2015). Records of non-dlPCBs have been reported in sera and breastmilk (Asamoah et al, 2018;Asante et al, 2011;Darnerud et al, 2011;Ennaceur and Driss, 2010;Hassine et al, 2012;Müller et al, 2017;Röllin et al, 2009) in some African countries.…”
