We describe a case of mixed malaria infection in a returning traveller. We suggest that our patient had a chronic infection with Plasmodium vivax, which reduced the severity of an acute infection with P. falciparum-an example of cross-species immunity.

Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular pathogen causing food-borne disease. It usually affects the young as well as immunocompromised individuals and is associated with high mortality rates. Cutaneous manifestations have rarely been described. We describe an interesting case of a traveller from the tropics presenting with cutaneous listeriosis and anemia.

We have explored the electroweak phase transition in minimal supergravity models by extending previous analysis of the one-loop Higgs potential to include finite temperature effects. Minimal supergravity is characterized by two higgs doublets at the electroweak scale, gauge coupling unification, and universal soft-SUSY breaking at the unification scale. We have searched for the allowed paramete...

Abstract This article investigates how marginal individuals construct a productive self in an interview. It reports on case study of three women—a squatter, rough sleeper, and Irish Traveller—who inhabit uncertain threatened homes. In response to dominant discourses productivity, the interviews speakers’ talk reflects desire be perceived as able knowledgeable individuals. Thus, rejecting their ...

In August 2011, a Plasmodium vivax malaria infection was diagnosed in a Romanian traveller returning from Greece. This case together with several reports over the past decade of autochthonous cases in Greece highlight that malaria should be considered as differential diagnosis in symptomatic travellers returning from this country. Travellers may serve as sentinels of emerging vector-borne disea...
