BACKGROUND HIVAIDS is spreading globally, hitting the younger generations. In Pakistan, the prevalence of HIV in high-risk subpopulations is five per cent or higher. This poses a serious threat of a generalised epidemic especially among the younger population. In the wake of HIVAIDS epidemic this is worrying as a well informed younger generation is crucial in restricting the spread of this epid...

Background Methicillin resistant Coagulase negative staphylococci (MRCoNS) are opportunistic pathogens among HIVAIDS patients and serve as a large reservoir of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) that carries mecA. Very little is known about the prevalent SCCmec types among MRCoNS from HIV patients and its molecular epidemiology. Hence, this study was aimed at determining the distri...

background and aims: the world is threatened by disease outbreak that reaches a public health emergency of international concern, studies to inform public and agencies for effective containment strategy are necessary. several studies provided vital information of the dynamics and control of ebola epidemic outbreak in west africa. methodologies and techniques in those researches have to be revie...

The fight against the spread and effects of HIVAIDS has recently been given high priority in Africa. However, an obstacle to the successful effort in fighting the pandemic remains the lack of an integrated and coordinated information sharing infrastructure to which all stakeholders have access. In Uganda, sharing of information on AIDS is further constrained by the diversity of information stor...

in this paper, a five–dimensional mathematical model is proposed for the transmission dynamics of hiv/aids within a population of varying size. in writing the model, we have divided the population under consideration into five sub classes of susceptible, infective, pre-aids, aids related complex and that of aids patients. the model has two non- negative equilibria namely, a disease free and the...

In spite of the remarkable progress made by the medical science in the last century, the effectiveness of tuberculosis (TB) treatment and vaccination has remained less than satisfactory. This has placed a very high burden on the public health systems of the third world. Annually, about 1.5 million deaths are attributed to TB [1]. The number of new cases seems to be on the rise, topping 9 millio...

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) was recognized in U.S. swine for the first time in early 2013. A plaque-purified PED virus (PEDV) isolate (USA/Iowa/18984/2013) was obtained from a diarrheic piglet. The isolate is genetically close to other previously reported U.S. PEDVs and recent Chinese PEDVs and was virulent when inoculated into neonatal pigs.

The classical symptoms of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) are acute diarrhea and dehydration. The isolated porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) CH/GDGZ/2012 strain was obtained from the feces of diseased pigs in 2012 in southern China. We report the complete genome sequence of strain CH/GDGZ/2012, which might be useful for better understanding the molecular characteristics of this virus.

cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by consuming food or water contaminated with the bacterium vibrio cholerae. two main epidemiological characteristic of disease is tendency for create of sudden outbreaks and the ability to causing a pandemic. the objective of this study is to describe the epidemiology of the disease. this survey is a descriptive cross-sectional study based on repo...
