In January 2011, human cases with hemorrhagic manifestations in the hospital staff were reported from a tertiary care Ahmadabad, India. This paper reports detailed epidemiological investigation of nosocomial outbreak affected area Gujarat, India.Samples 3 suspected cases, 83 contacts, Hyalomma ticks and livestock screened for Crimean-Congo fever (CCHF) virus by qRT-PCR which samples two medical professionals (case C E) husband index case D) positive CCHFV. The sensitivity specificity...
The study deals with the survey of different bat populations (Pteropus giganteus, Cynopterus sphinx, and Megaderma lyra) in India for highly pathogenic Nipah virus (NiV), Reston Ebola virus, Marburg virus. Bats (n = 140) from two states (Maharashtra West Bengal) were tested IgG (serum samples) against these viruses RNAs. Only NiV RNA was detected a liver homogenate P. giganteus captured Myanaguri, Bengal. Partial sequence analysis nucleocapsid, glycoprotein, fusion, phosphoprotein genes...
Avian influenza (AI) H9N2 has been reported from poultry in India. A seroepidemiological study was undertaken among workers to understand the prevalence of antibodies against AI Pune, Maharashtra, total 338 were sampled. Serum samples tested for presence virus by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and microneutralization (MN) assays. 249 baseline sera general population Pune negative HI assay using ≥40 cut-off antibody titre. Overall 21 subjects (21/338 = 6.2%) positive either or MN assays...
During a survey in the year 2010, novel phlebovirus was isolated from Rousettus leschenaultii species of bats western India. The virus identified by electron microscopy infected Vero E6 cells. Phylogenic analysis complete genome showed its close relation to severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and Heartland viruses, which makes it imperative further study natural ecology potential as emerging zoonotic virus.
Co-infections, particularly with DNA viruses, are not commonly reported dengue fever. This case report explores the clinical course of a pregnant woman initially diagnosed fever following onset continued and thrombocytopaenia. Despite efforts to manage her deteriorating health, patient experienced stillbirth. Further investigations revealed co-infection Epstein-Barr virus human herpesvirus-6. underscores complexity risk associated co-infections in pregnancy highlights need for comprehensive...
More than 70 outbreaks of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 have been reported in poultry western and north-eastern parts India. Therefore, view recent HPAI poultry, active AI surveillance encompassing wild, resident, migratory birds was undertaken during 2009-2011 State West Bengal.A total 5722 samples were collected from Bengal; 3522 (2906 fecal droppings + 616 other environmental samples) 2200 [1604 tracheal, cloacal swabs, samples, tissue 596 blood (serum)] domestic ducks...
Abstract Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) induces an acute infection of the central nervous system, pathogenic mechanism which is not fully understood. To investigate host response to JEV infection, 14‐day‐old mice were infected via extraneural route, resulted in and death. Mice that received immune splenocyte transfer protected from infection. Pathology gene expression profiles then compared brains either succumbed or by cell transfer. undergoing progressive had increased proinflammatory...
Surveillance work was initiated to study the presence of highly infectious diseases like Ebola-Reston, Marburg, Nipah and other possible viruses that are known be found in bat species responsible for causing humans. A novel adenovirus isolated from a common fruit (Rousettus leschenaultii) captured Maharashtra State, India. Partial sequence analysis DNA polymerase gene shows this isolate newly recognized member genus Mastadenovirus (family Adenoviridae), approximately 20% divergent at...
Rubella infection during pregnancy can result in miscarriage, fetal death, stillbirth, or a constellation of congenital malformations known as rubella syndrome (CRS). The 11 countries the World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region are committed to elimination measles and control CRS by 2020. Until 2016, when Government India's Ministry Family Welfare Indian Council Medical Research initiated surveillance for five sentinel sites, India did not conduct systematic CRS. During first...
Increased occurrence of mucormycosis during the second wave COVID-19 pandemic in early 2021 India prompted us to undertake a multi-site case-control investigation. The objectives were examine monthly trend Associated Mucormycosis (CAM) cases among in-patients and identify factors associated with development CAM.Eleven study sites involved across India; archived records since 1st January till 30th September used for analysis. controls enrolled 15th June 2021. Data collected using...
Previously we have reported that, cycloart-23-ene-3β, 25-diol (called as B2) and L-glutamine stimulated glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (7-36) amide secretion diabetic rats. The objective of present investigation was to investigate the concomitant administration 25-diol+sitagliptin L-glutamine+sitagliptin in streptozotocin - nicotinamide induced Sprague Dawley. Type 2 diabetes overnight fasted male Dawley rats pre-treated with (100 mg/kg, i.p.) followed by (55 20 min after. were divided...
Mumps is a vaccine-preventable disease that usually occurs as parotitis, but it can also lead to several life- threatening complications, including pancreatitis, meningitis and encephalitis.To determine diagnosis of mumps disease, which communicable affects childrens. Although seen worldwide, outbreaks not common in India.Thirty one suspected cases, who presented the unimmunized population Chikkahallivana village Davangere district Karnataka, India January 2014, with clinical evidence fever,...
