The development of interventions and supports for this population requires insight into how they live. This study describes the social and economic characteristics of a convenience sample of street youth (SY) in Eldoret, Kenya. METHODS Participants were eligible if they ...

Double-yolked (DY) and single-yolked (SY) duck eggs (n = 1318 for both) were candled and weighed on Days (d) 2, 8, 12, 15, 19, 22 and 25 of incubation and yolk/embryo position was recorded on d2, d8 and at post-mortem. From d8 only eggs with live fertile yolk(s) remained in the incubator. On d2, 99.39% of yolks in DY eggs were in the adjacent position and by d8 yolk positions changed to paralle...

BACKGROUND Chikungunya (CHIK) virus is a mosquito-borne emerging pathogen presenting great health challenges worldwide, particularly in tropical zones. Here we report a newly detected strain of CHIK, Zhejiang/chik-sy/2012, in China, a nonindigenous region for CHIK, using a modified approach based on the classic cDNA-AFLP. We then performed etiological and phylogenetic analyses to better underst...
