Incidences of major feline viral diseases provide basic information for preventing disease in cats. Despite the growing interest diseases, sero-surveillances have been lacking. In this study, we analyzed diagnoses and conducted a sero surveillance panleukopenia virus (FPV), calicivirus (FCV), herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1), infectious peritonitis (FIPV) Korean Of 204 confirmed cases since 2015, numbers ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between measles virus (MV) antibodies (abs) in sera and breast milk of nursing mothers, their contributions in seroconversion of children (0-9 months) post vaccination, prevalence of prevaccination measles abs in sera of children brought for measles vaccination and seroconversion rate in vaccinees from nursing and lactating mothers. Also to determine the p...

The aim of the present study was to examine changes of cellular homeostasis in regulatory T (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells by detecting the proportion of Treg and Th17 cells of peripheral blood, as well as the expression of specific transcription factors in these two types of cells, in syphilitic patients with sero-resistance. A total of 49 subjects were enrolled in the study and divided i...

African swine fever (ASF) is a notifiable highly infectious lethal haemorrhagic diseasein domestic pigs. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). was carried out to detect antibodies against ASF virus and haematological investigations were also on blood samples collected from one hundred eighty seven pigs various piggries slaughter houses selected Local Government Areas in Benue Sta...

The road coloring problem is an interesing problem proposed over 40 years ago by Adler, Goodwyn and Weiss. Hundreds of mathematicians worked on this problem and failed to make the conjecture a theorem. Finally, in 2007, it was proved by a 60-year-old Israeli mathematician, Avraham Trahtman. It turns out the prove was quite simple after Trahtman partitioned the graph into cycles and trees. The d...

Background: Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malaria co-infection poses a serious health threat in sub-Saharan Africa other endemic countries. Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) is currently used to suppress viral loads. Methods: Blood samples collected from 400 participants comprising 200 HIV sero-positive sero-negative individuals was added EDTA sample containers. Malaria par...

background and objectives: cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries. in addition to traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, nowadays, accumulating evidence indicates that a variety of infections contribute to pathogenesis of atherosclerosis,  (we investigated whether helicobacter pylori infection is related to prevalence of coronary heart dise...

BACKGROUND HIV/AIDS epidemics continue unchecked in African countries at all level of society bearing the heaviest burden of the scourge. Different researches have been done to see the progress of disease from time to time However, information that shows the trend of HIV among the healthy population over a period of time in Ethiopia is very limited. METHODS A descriptive retrospective cross-s...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a contagious viral disease of cloven-footed animals. It is endemic in Pakistan with huge economic losses. The aim of the study was to estimate the sero-prevalence of FMD in small ruminants (sheep and goats) kept in proximity to large ruminants with a recent history of FMD outbreak. The study was conducted in seven purposively selected districts of Pakistan. A tot...

BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease with a worldwide distribution. In Vietnam, leptospirosis is considered endemic. In pigs, leptospirosis can result in reproductive problems (such as abortion and infertility) which lead to economic loss. In addition, transmission to people presents a public health risk. In Vietnam, few national studies have been conducted on sero-prevalenc...
