background: tuberculosis (tb) is an increasing public health concern worldwide. on a global scale it has a devastating impact in developing nations. genital tb, an extrapulmonary form, is not uncommon particularly in areas where pulmonary tb is prevalent. genital tb may be asymptomatic or may even masquerade as other gynaecological conditions; hence, diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicio...

BACKGROUND Enteric pathogens are an important cause of illness, however, little is known about their community-level risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural and physical environmental conditions) in the Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada. The objective of this study was to undertake ecological (group-level) analyses by combining two existing data sources to examine potential community-le...

In immunoelectrophoretic analyses one common antigen was demonstrated in antigen preparations from herpes simplex virus types 1- and 2- (HSV-1 and HSV-2), bovine herpes mammillitis (BHM) virus-, and B virus-infected cells solubilized by Triton X-100. The antigen was also demonstrated in solubilized purified HSV-1 and BHM virus. The common antigen was identified as antigen 11 of HSV-1 or HSV-2. ...

background: external genital anomalies are the most common congenital disorders in male infants with unknown etiology in the majority of cases. according to recent reports, incidence rate of these anomalies is rising in different countries. this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of external genital anomalies and possible underlying factors in male newborns. methods: this cross-sectional st...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the reduction Campylobacter jejuni in chicken meat at 6 and 70°C, after inoculation a Brazilian strain. kinetics C. survival showed 0.26 log (CFU g-1) decrease for each day exposure 6°C, 1.35 1 increase 70°C. Although reduced levels were found regular intervals both temperatures, its incomplete inactivation underlines need good hygiene practi...

BACKGROUND Socioeconomic factors play a complex role in determining the risk of campylobacteriosis. Understanding the spatial interplay between these factors and disease risk can guide disease control programs. Historically, Poisson and negative binomial models have been used to investigate determinants of geographic disparities in risk. Spatial regression models, which allow modeling of spatia...

A quantitative risk assessment comprising the elements hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment, and risk characterization has been prepared to assess the effect of different mitigation strategies on the number of human cases in Denmark associated with thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in chickens. To estimate the human exposure to Campylobacter from a chicken meal and ...
