Cryptosporidium species infects a wide number of animals including livestock all over the world. The current study was done to determine prevalence and risk factors infection among cattle in Central Region Ghana. Two hundred eighty-seven (287) faecal samples were randomly collected from on eight farms four districts across two agroecological zones. A commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (CoproELISA, Savyon® Diagnostics Ltd., Israel) for used detection antigens samples....
The global population demands high quality meat and the preference for offal continue to be on increase. This investigation evaluates consumers' associated pathological conditions observed in cattle goat Kumasi, Ghana.Cross sectional survey structured questionnaires involving 200 adult respondents were adopted. 105 samples of from selected retailers or vendors also evaluated conditions.From questionnaire, results showed that average, one (1) pound was consumed by a household seven (7) per...
Cryptosporidium species are intestinal protozoan parasites that infect and cause diarrhoea in animals humans. The current study was conducted to determine the prevalence risk factors of infection among HIV-infected patients Central region Ghana. In this cross-sectional study, four hundred eighteen documented participants from health facilities provide antiretroviral therapy (ART) services across Ghana were selected by systematic random sampling. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay...
Background: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. The disease becomes very common among individuals with multiple sexual partners without protection. Aim: This research aimed at assessing the prevalence of syphilis in Cape Coast Metropolis and factors associated transmission Methodology: 200 participants from were sampled assessed for using Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test strips (a nontreponemal test) positive samples confirmed palladium...
Background: Scientific information on the impact of malaria risk developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is limited in Ghanaian context. The purpose this study was to examine association between selected markers T2DM falciparum patients post-COVID-19 or not at a tertiary hospital Ghana.
 Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional comparative 38-recovered COVID-19 adult participants with and 40 unexposed adults Tamale Teaching...
This study compares levels of insulin resistance and beta-cell function their relationship with liver enzymes in recovered COVID-19 participants uninfected counterparts a cross-sectional design the Tamale metropolis Ghana. Biochemical indices for function, lipid metabolism, inflammation oxidative stress were assessed under fasting state 110 116 participants. The homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) employed resistance. Recovered presented lower (P < 0.05)...
Introduction: Most febrile illnesses in Ghana are often misdiagnosed and presumptively treated as malaria. This situation may be due to the inappropriate diagnostic tool, clinical oversight lack of awareness some disease conditions that might have been present country. study sought investigate seroprevalence dengue virus, geographical location participants with circulating antibodies finally evaluate accuracy a Rapid kit (RDT) using Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) gold standard...
Abstract Background and Aim Human hookworm disease caused by Ancylostoma duodenale Necator americanus is a serious public health problem. Hookworm infection activates eosinophil‐mediated tissue inflammatory responses, involving the production of eosinophil‐specific chemokine (eotaxin), recruitment eosinophils, secretion cationic protein, antiparasite immunoglobulin E (IgE). We investigated immune response as markers (CCL11, eosinophil protein [ECP], IgE) for detecting infection. Methods This...
Diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections is very important considering the spread HIV and extensive use highly active antiretroviral therapy worldwide. This will assist in planning treatment schedule controlling these infections. The study therefore aimed at determining prevalence syphilis positive naive patients Cape Coast associated risk factors involved infection. A cross-sectional was carried out using initial rapid confirmation tests, then Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test...
