Tularemia is a highly dangerous, febrile zoonotic bacterial infection, endemic to many regions of the Northern hemisphere including Eastern Europe. The current war in Ukraine raises risk for both natural outbreaks tularemia resulting from destroyed infrastructure, and potential use as weapon or bioterrorism. There has been substantial history prior wars region, previously weaponized stockpiled an offensive agent. are reports “mouse fever”, where Russian soldiers affected with high fever...
In light of the continuous transmission and evolution SARS-CoV-2 coupled with a significant decline in clinical testing, there is pressing need for scalable, cost-effective, long-term, passive surveillance tools to effectively monitor viral variants circulating population. Wastewater genomic has arrived as an alternative surveillance, allowing continuously prevalence lineages communities various size at fraction time, cost, logistic effort serving early warning system emerging variants,...
Abstract Conflicts and natural disasters affect entire populations of the countries involved and, in addition to thousands lives destroyed, have a substantial negative impact on scientific advances these provide. The unprovoked invasion Ukraine by Russia, devastating earthquake Turkey Syria, ongoing conflicts Middle East are just few examples. Millions people been killed or displaced, their futures uncertain. These events resulted extensive infrastructure collapse, with loss electricity,...
Tularaemia is a zoonotic disease caused by the gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis, which endemic to Ukraine. The aim of this work was provide screening different field samples (rodent tails, ticks, pellets, water, and hay) obtain an actual picture tularaemia epizootic situation in Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv oblasts.Samples were collected using flag method (for ticks) break-back traps rodents). Also, hay, water owl pellets for study. F. tularensis genetic material detected...
The work aims to provide a study and report the case with 47-year-old white man from urban-type settlement Oleksandrivka (Voznesensk District, Mykolaiv Region) diagnosed pharyngitis, amygdalitis, polylymphoadenopathy, buboadenitis caused by Francisella tularensis. tularemia diagnosis in patient was confirmed agglutination test western blot of patient’s blood serum dilutions 1:100 1:200 respectively. additional surveillance (rodents, ticks, water samples) surrounding area house showed...
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 disease, was mainly described as a something extraordinary in media discourse. Its “unusual,” almost “mystical” properties have been constantly invented by world sources since January 2020 thus far. Critical comparison of the real epidemiological, physical, chemical and biological with most common causative agents family demonstrates principles techniques laboratory diagnostics prophylaxis should be built only on basis evidence-based...
Retrovirus infections of cattle, including leukemia, are widespread in the whole world. In Ukraine, leukemia has been investigated for over 40 years, whereas minor retroviruses cattle have not studied yet. Aim. PCR-screening samples bovine peripheral blood, subject to diagnostic studies from farms Eastern Ukraine (Kharkiv and Sumy regions). Methods. The genetic material agents retroviral clinical was detected via conventional PCR real-time PCR. Results Investiga- tions. presence BLV-, BIV-,...
Recombinant plasmids containing target sequences are widely used as positive controls for PCR laboratory diagnostics. The aim of the study was development recombinant control a fragment B646L gene African swine fever virus. sequence interest encodes targets all assays diagnostics recommended by World Organisation Animal Health. A plasmid 1763 bp insertion cloned in E .coli DH5α strain. After purification, ten-fold serial dulutions were while PRC testing. minimal detectable copy number 20...
Since February 24, 2022, invasion of Ukraine by Russia has affected the entire population Ukraine, including scientific community. The attack Russian forces resulted in destruction infrastructure Ukrainian cities, universities, research centers, and educational institutions. Millions people, educators scientists, have been displaced from their homes, futures uncertain. This conflict is unfolding a country with large diverse community rich history higher education research. global provided...
