Papaya leaves exhibiting severe leaf curling and stunting symptoms were tested for the presence of begomovirus infection. The putative full-length cotton curl Gezira virus (CLCuGV) tomato betasatellite (ToLCB) molecules amplified, sequenced analyzed. This is first study providing identification CLCuGeV ToLCB infecting papaya in Iran.

Introduction: Bleeding due to oesophageal varices is the most common cause of upper gastrointestinal tract haemorrhage in Gezira State, Central Sudan. Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EST) is a valuable therapeutic modality for the management of variceal bleeding. Other options for treatment such as variceal band ligation are either expensive or unavailable. Objectives: A retrospective study...

In the current study, complete genome of an isolate cotton leaf curl Gezira virus (CLCuGeV), identified for first time from Malva parviflora in Iraq, was amplified using rolling circle amplification and sequenced. The Iraqi CLCuGeV shared highest nucleotide identity at 98.2% with Israeli clustered isolates Egyptian Cameroon strains phylogenetic analysis.

background tuberculosis (tb) continues to be a major public health problem worldwide. in developing countries, the burden of the disease is explosive, as 95% of global tb patients reside and 98% of global tb deaths occur in these regions. patients’ satisfaction may play a major role in adherence to medications and hence improve tuberculosis cure rate. objectives the current study aimed firstly ...

To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for hepatitis B infection in rural Sudan, 2 villages in the Gezira were surveyed. There were 851 subjects (age 1-89 years; mean age 24.6 years) of equal sex distribution, 408 from Khalawaat and 443 from Saleim. HBsAg was found in 18.7%, and seropositivity for any hepatitis marker (HBsAg, anti-HBs, or anti-HBc) was found in 63.9%. The prevalence of...

INTRODUCTION Data collection using paper-based questionnaires can be time consuming and return errors affect data accuracy, completeness, and information quality in health surveys. We compared smartphone and paper-based data collection systems in the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) study in rural Sudan. METHODS This exploratory pilot study was designed to run in parallel with the cr...
