Disease transmission
Researchers from the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium, have published a study on the genome sequencing of Leishmania tropica in tissues of Moroccan patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis. The study reveals microfocal transmission patterns among humans, underlain by (pseudo)clonal and sexual reproductive modes. This research has significant implications
Disease transmission
A recent study conducted by researchers at Universitas Syiah Kuala in Indonesia has shed light on the effectiveness of mass deworming programs in reducing the burden of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) in high-risk populations, particularly school-age children. According to the study, which analyzed 828 articles and included four studies involving 842
Cholera
A new report from the Department of Mathematics at Barrackpore Rastraguru Surendranath College presents a mathematical model of cholera disease transmission within the human population, focusing on the consumption of zooplankton as a food source. The model incorporates a time delay to account for the period it takes for a
Disease transmission
In the ongoing battle against rabies, a significant public health threat in Ghana, researchers at the Regional Veterinary Laboratory have unveiled a groundbreaking study demonstrating the effectiveness of community-led interventions in eliminating human rabies cases. From 2022 to 2024, a metropolitan-wide rabies prevention initiative was implemented in Techiman Metropolitan, with
Biosensors
Fresh data on biosensors for airborne virus detection are presented in a new report. Researchers at the National Taipei University of Technology have developed a novel system that can detect highly contagious pathogens, such as the influenza virus, using electrochemical biosensors. The system, which combines an airborne viral protein collection

Disease transmission
A recent study on RNA Viruses - Hepacivirus has shed light on the diversity of the bovine virome, highlighting the need for improved biosecurity measures in cattle management. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney, including Barbara Brito and Piklu Roy Chowdhury, used a metatranscriptomic approach to analyze 20 bovine
Bacterial infections
The state government of Maharashtra has issued a directive declaring leprosy a notifiable disease, requiring healthcare professionals to report any new cases to the local health department within two weeks. This move follows a central government directive issued around six months ago, and aims to track the spread of the
Clinical trials
Researchers from Yale University School of Medicine have conducted a phase 3 trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of transfusing amustaline/glutathione pathogen-reduced red blood cells in cardiac surgery patients with increased risk of red cell transfusion. The trial, which randomized 581 subjects, found that transfusion of pathogen-reduced red
