Abstract Background Malaria has been one of the commonest diseases during farming season which affects farmers’ health resulting in a reduction in the number of days spent on the farm. Due to this, farmers are regularly trying to avert a malaria attack through preventive measures. Motivated by this argument, this study sought to determine the effects of malaria averting expenditure on labour productivity of maize farmers in Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri District in the Northern Region of Ghana. Methods A cross-sectional primary data was collected from 194 maize farmers. Both descriptive and quantitative data analysis approaches were employed. Conditional Mixed Process was used to estimate the effects of malaria preventive expenditure on maize labour productivity. Results The study revealed that maize farmers incurred an average expenditure of GHc284.6 to prevent malaria. The result shows that factors that affect maize farmers’ malaria preventive expenditure include off-farm income, household size, presence of bushes around houses, presence of pregnant women and number of household members in school. Meanwhile, quantity of fertilizer, seed, weedicides, farming experience, age, ownership of motor bike and averting expenditure are significant determinants of maize labour productivity. The study revealed that farmers who spend more amount of money to avert malaria attack are more labour productive. Conclusions Therefore, this study recommends that Ministry of Health and Ministry of Food and Agriculture should collaborate and integrate health extension service on malaria in agricultural extension to educate farmers on the need to avert malaria. Farmers should be educated on malaria preventive strategies such as clearing of bushes around houses, draining of stagnant water, sleeping in treated mosquito nets among others.

Fundamentals: Migration movements between countries have enabled the extension of Chagas disease to non-endemic countries such as Spain, where only recently there has been awareness of this emerging global disease and procedures have been put in place for its management. The objective of this study is to determine the level of knowledge of Chagas disease, its symptoms, means of transmission and places where seropositive residents in Valencia (Spain) may seek medical assistance. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study of 96 Bolivian migrants living in Valencia (Spain). The sample was randomly selected and taking advantage of the bolivian elections in 2014. A specific epidemiological survey was conducted and screening blood tests were carried out using ELISA and confirmatory diagnosis by indirect immunofluorescence. After the bivariate analysis, logistic regression models were created to determine the variables that accounted for the lack of knowledge of the disease.Results: The prevalence of Chagas was 35.4%. However, 24% of the total sample and 26.1% of seropositive participants do not know about the disease and 70.8% of participants do not know about the symptoms of the disease. While 58.3% (41.1% of seropositive participants) ignore what the means of transmission in non-endemic countries are and 47.1% do not know where to seek medical attention. This ignorance is predominant in participants over 45 years of age and with lower levels of education.Conclusions: There is an important lack of knowledge of the disease which, along with the issue of a high prevalence, elevates Chagas disease into being a potential public health problem which requires specific control and preventive measures.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a public health problem in Indonesia that the number of DHF cases has been increased. Morbidity number of DHF per 100,000 population at 2011 was 26.67 became 34.3 in 2012. The control of DHF has been attempted, but a lot of synthetic insecticide used has been negatively affected to environment. So, it need the insecticide alternative. The aim of study was to identify the effect of solvent sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.) seeds to the death of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by electric liquid method. Type of this research was experimental with cross sectional study design as well as the post test only control group design. The study was conducted from February to July 2013 in the Laboratory of Entomology of the Provincial Health Office of East Java. The population of this research was the Aedes aegypti with 560 sample of mosquitoes were divided into five treatments and four repetitions for each treatment. The collection of quantitative data drawn from primary data through observation by calculating the death of Aedes aegypti of each the sugar apple seeds concentration of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% for 24 hours. The results showed that the concentration of 50% solvent of sugar apple seeds provide the greatest effect in causing the death of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as many as 36 died after exposure. It can be concluded that there are effected by giving solvent of sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.) seeds to the death of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by electric liquid method.

Le paludisme demeure un problème de santé publique au Bénin malgré l’utilisation des moustiquaires. La présente étude avait pour objectif de déterminer la prévalence du paludisme à Tourou et d’identifier les facteurs comportementaux et environnementaux associés en période de faible endémicité. Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale, descriptive à visée analytique menée dans la population de Tourou. Le diagnostic du paludisme était fait par un test de diagnostic rapide. L’analyse des données a été faite par le logiciel SPSS version 21. Les facteurs de risque du paludisme ont été déterminés par régression logistique. Une p inférieure à 0,05 a été considérée comme significative. Au total 390 sujets ont été inclus dans l’étude. Une prédominance féminine (50,6%) est observée avec un sex-ratio de 0,97. Sur les 390 sujets, 145 étaient infectés par le paludisme soit prévalence du 37,4%. Le fait de dormir dehors (OR : 1,31) et après 23 heures (OR : 5,12) étaient des facteurs comportementaux à risque du paludisme tandis que l’absence d’eaux stagnantes (OR : 0,67) et celle des mauvaises herbes (OR : 0,67) étaient les facteurs environnementaux protecteurs contre le paludisme. La présente étude a montré que les facteurs environnementaux et comportementaux sont associés au paludisme dans la localité de Tourou. La lutte contre le paludisme devra considérer en plus de l’éradication du vecteur l’assainissement de l’environnement et le changement du mode de vie.Mots clés : Paludisme, Prévalence, Facteurs associés, Bénin.   English Title: Behavioral and environmental factors associated with malaria in Tourou (Benin) during periods of low endemicityMalaria remains a public health problem in Benin despite the use of mosquito nets.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem. Families need to meet healthcare needs during the treatment of TB sufferers. This study aims to identify healthcare needs of families caring for patients with the disease. The cross-sectional study involved 83 families caring for TB patients. The research was conducted at a Primary Healthcare Center in an urban area in West Java. The results revealed that 60.2% of caregivers were 18–40 years old, 60.2% were female, 51.8% were senior high school educated, 43.4% were housewives, 86.7% had an income under the regional minimum wage, and 55.4% had cared for the TB patients for 3–6 months. The families had healthcare needs for emotional support (mean 33.72, SD 4.16); information support (mean 33.28, SD 4.09); instrumental support (mean 32.4, SD 3.73); and appraisal support (mean 28.01, SD 5.93). The greatest support need was how to encourage clients to take treatment completely (Score: 140); TB treatment information (Score: 138); financial support for chest x-ray costs (Score: 114); and how to assess patient behavior in maintaining health (score: 133). Based on the study result, the families need to improve their ability to give appraisal support during the patient's treatment. The identification of families’ healthcare needs in caring for patients with pulmonary TB can provide primary data for developing innovative programs integrated with DOTS programs in healthcare services to improve family support.Abstrak Kebutuhan Perawatan Kesehatan Keluarga yang Merawat Pasien Tuberkulosis.
