چکیده
Viral hepatitis is a general category for a diverse but related group of infectious agents that are extremely common in Sub-Saharan Africa in general and Cameroon in particular. Hepatitis viruses B, C, and D can all be transmitted via sexual contact. Percutaneous and premucosal exposure to infective body fluids e.g. blood, saliva, semen, and vaginal fluids, are primary transmission routes. Hepatitis A (HAV) is not a sexually transmitted disease but is included in this section for completeness.

Health and equity impacts of a large oil project in Africa.
A system of external reviewers was established by the World Bank Group to promote a thorough environmental and health impact assessment for the 3.5 billion US dollars Chad Oil Export Project, based on a loan request from Chad, Cameroon and a consortium of oil companies. The environmental and health assessment process showed evidence of its ability to minimize the number of deaths from malaria, ...
متن کاملCompetition in the gum arabic market: a game theoretic modelling approach
Gum arabic is mainly produced from two Acacias that are found in the gum belt of Sub-Saharan Africa. These are Acacia senegal that produces high quality gum and Acacia seyal that produces low quality gum. In recent years the gum market structure has changed and Sudan lost its near monopoly position as Chad and Nigeria became important gum suppliers. In order to understand the competition betwee...
متن کاملRetroviral mRNA nuclear export elements regulate protein function and virion assembly.
Rodent cells are notable for their inability to support normal assembly of HIV particles. In this report, we address possible causes for this defect by considering the hypothesis that mRNA-associated events occurring in the nucleus can regulate the activity of their encoded proteins in the cytoplasm. We show that altering the RNA nuclear export element used by HIV gag-pol mRNA from the Rev resp...
متن کاملStructural determinants of nuclear export signal orientation in binding to exportin CRM1
The Chromosome Region of Maintenance 1 (CRM1) protein mediates nuclear export of hundreds of proteins through recognition of their nuclear export signals (NESs), which are highly variable in sequence and structure. The plasticity of the CRM1-NES interaction is not well understood, as there are many NES sequences that seem incompatible with structures of the NES-bound CRM1 groove. Crystal struct...
متن کاملEvolution of a Species-Specific Determinant within Human CRM1 that Regulates the Post-transcriptional Phases of HIV-1 Replication
The human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) Rev protein regulates the nuclear export of intron-containing viral RNAs by recruiting the CRM1 nuclear export receptor. Here, we employed a combination of functional and phylogenetic analyses to identify and characterize a species-specific determinant within human CRM1 (hCRM1) that largely overcomes established defects in murine cells to the post...
