Collaborative mapping
Environmental risks disproportionately affect socially vulnerable populations, yet most studies on urban leptospirosis have not captured residents’ perceptions of these risks. We conducted a cross-sectional study between August 2018 and March 2019 across four communities in Salvador, Brazil (Marechal Rondon, Alto do Cabrito, Nova Constituinte, and Rio Sena) using a collaborative mapping approach to explore residents’ perceptions of environmental …
Why is leptospirosis hard to avoid for the impoverished? Deconstructing leptospirosis transmission risk and the drivers of knowledge, attitudes, and practices in a disadvantaged community in Salvador,…
Several studies have identified socioeconomic and environmental risk factors for infectious disease, but the relationship between these and knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP), and more importantly their web of effects on individual infection risk, have not previously been evaluated. We conducted a cross-sectional KAP survey in an urban disadvantaged community in Salvador, Brazil, leveraging on simultaneously collected fine-scale environmen…

P06 The epidemiology of type 1 diabetes in children from Northeast England
Objective Environmental factors are involved in the aetiology of type 1 diabetes. A particular role for infectious exposures has been postulated. Temporal and spatial variation in incidence would be consistent with this hypothesis. We aimed to test predictions of increasing incidence and spatial variation occurring among cases of type 1 diabetes in children (aged 0–14 years) that might arise as a result of environmental mechanisms. Design Populat…
Azurocytes in Wild Field Voles
The occurrence of azurocytes (AZ), a type of leukocyte unique to voles and previously described for three Microtus species, is now reported in Microtus agrestis. The goal of this study was to shed new light on the possible function and significance of these cells and on how they play a role in the natural history of rodent species. Individuals from three vole populations were sampled monthly for 2 years. A hemogram was produced for each individua…
