BACKGROUND Human enteroviruses (EV) have been associated with severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) in South Africa. OBJECTIVES We aimed to describe the molecular epidemiology of EV serotypes among patients hospitalized with SARI during 2009-2011. PATIENTS/METHODS Study samples from patients were tested for the presence of enterovirus using a polymerase chain reaction assay. RESULTS 8.2...

Since 2003, Southern Vietnam has become the most serious affected area by various emerging diseases such as: A/H5N1, SARS, Rubella, etc. Therefore, the establishment of emerging disease surveillance is essential and necessary to provide scientific information for good understand on the emerging diseases and for effective outbreak response. A specific surveillance system for Severe Acute Respira...

BACKGROUND Surveillance of severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) in sentinel hospitals is recommended to estimate the burden of severe influenza-cases. Therefore, we monitored patients admitted with respiratory infections (RI) in 9 Berlin hospitals from 7.12.2009 to 12.12.2010 according to different case definitions (CD) and determined the proportion of cases with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (p...

the main objective for plant breeding is to increase genetic diversity. mutation induction is a method to increase genetic diversity associated with selection, recombination, or a combination of these approaches in plant breeding. the present research was aimed to compare efficacy of different doses of gamma rays (150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 gy and zero dose control) on the sesame morphological ...

The aim of this paper is to study some properties of soft Hausdorff space introduced by Shabir and Naz. Firstly, we give a representation of soft sets and soft topological spaces. Secondly, we introduce some new concepts in soft topological space such as convergence of sequences, homeomorphism and investigate the relations between these concepts and Hausdorff axiom in soft topological space. 20...
