    School-based control of urinary schistosomiasis on Zanzibar, Tanzania: monitoring micro-haematuria with reagent strips as a rapid urological assessment.

    , J Pediatr Urol, Vol: 3, Pages: 364-368

    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate micro-haematuria, detected by Haemastix reagent strips, for diagnosis of urinary schistosomiasis during a 3-year period of school-based control on Zanzibar. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A sub-set of school children, from a total of 135,000 who were receiving treatment for urinary schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis, were monitored by parasitological and questionnaire methods for Schistosoma haematobium infections: at treatment baseline in 2004 (n=2002), follow up with re-treatment in 2005 (n=3278) and further follow up with re-treatment in 2006 (n=3993). Standard diagnostic scores for micro-haematuria were calculated against parasitological assessment. RESULTS: Diagnostic scores of Haemastix remained strong throughout the 3-year period. In 2006, scores were: sensitivity (SS)=0.86 (95% CI: 0.86-0.88), specificity (SP)=0.99 (0.98-1.00), positive predictive value (PPV)=0.90 (0.88-0.91), negative predictive value (NPV)=0.98 (0.98-0.99) in boys; and SS=0.84 (0.82-0.86), SP=0.98 (0.98-0.99), PPV=0.77 (0.75-0.79) and NPV=0.99 (0.99-1.00) in girls. By comparison, reported blood in urine and pain upon urination were much lower and not as informative. CONCLUSION: At a cost of approximately pound sterling 0.20/test, further use of reagent strips for monitoring of urinary schistosomiasis during ongoing control programmes should be advocated as a rapid, cost-effective and informative disease surveillance tool.

    The impact of pollination syndrome and habitat on gene flow: a comparative study of two <i>Streptocarpus</i> (Gesneriaceae) species

    , American Journal of Botany, Vol: 94, Pages: 1688-1695, ISSN: 0002-9122

    <jats:p>Gene flow through pollen and seed dispersal is important in terms of population differentiation and eventually speciation. Seed and pollen flow are affected in turn by habitats and pollen vectors. We examined the effect of different pollinators and habitats on gene flow by comparing two species of <jats:italic>Streptocarpus</jats:italic>, using microsatellite and chloroplast RFLP markers. Populations of the forest‐dwelling <jats:italic>S. primulifolius</jats:italic> were highly differentiated according to nuclear microsatellite data and had mutually exclusive chloroplast haplotypes. This result is congruent with infrequent seed dispersal and limited between‐population foraging by the long‐tongued fly pollinator <jats:italic>Stenobasipteron wiedemanni</jats:italic>. In contrast, populations of <jats:italic>S. dunnii</jats:italic> growing in exposed crags had lower levels of population differentiation according to both nuclear and chloroplast data, congruent with a hypothesis of more effective between population seed dispersal and greater pollen‐mediated gene flow due to the sunbird pollinator <jats:italic>Nectarinia famosa</jats:italic>. The population genetic behavior of these species is reflected in their taxonomy and phylogenetic position; <jats:italic>S. primulifolius</jats:italic> belongs to a taxonomically complex clade in which recent speciation is evident, while the clade containing <jats:italic>S. dunnii</jats:italic> is characterized by taxonomically well‐defined species on longer phylogenetic branches. Our study shows that pollinator movements and seed dispersal patterns are a major determinant of the evolutionary trajectories of these species.</jats:p>
