Precision Medicine is being increasingly used in the developed world to improve health care. While several (PM) initiatives have been launched worldwide, their implementations proven be more challenging particularly low- and middle-income countries. To address this issue, "Personalized North Africa" initiative (PerMediNA) was three African countries namely Tunisia, Algeria Morocco. PerMediNA coordinated by Institut Pasteur de Tunis together with French Ministry for Europe Foreign Affairs,...
The geographic and evolutionary origins of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (BA.1), which was first detected mid-November 2021 in Southern Africa, remain unknown. We tested 13,097 COVID-19 patients sampled between mid-2021 to early 2022 from 22 African countries for BA.1 by real-time RT-PCR. By November-December 2021, had replaced Delta all sub-regions following a South-North gradient, with peak Rt 4.1. Polymerase chain reaction near-full genome sequencing data revealed genetically diverse...
West Nile Virus (WNV) is the most widely distributed flavivirus worldwide. It a mosquito-borne virus, and birds constitute its natural reservoir. Humans equines are considered accidental hosts. Human WNV infections usually asymptomatic or express as mild febrile syndrome; however, in around 1% of cases they responsible for more serious neurological diseases with potentially lethal outcome. In Mediterranean basin virus circulation regarded endemic. Outbreaks meningoencephalitis regularly...
Background Little is known about molecular characteristics of HBV strains circulating in Algeria and there are few data regarding HDV infection. Objectives The aim this study to describe the genetic diversity existing determine seroprevalence Study design Plasma samples from 134 patients were analyzed by enzyme immunoassay method for serological markers. Genotyping performed using direct sequencing followed phylogenetic analyses PreS1 R0 region genome respectively. Results gene was...
Background: In mid-November 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 variant was detected in Southern Africa, prompting international travel restrictions of unclear effectiveness that exacted a substantial economic toll. Methods: Amidst wave, we tested 13,294 COVID-19 patients 24 African countries between mid-2021 to early 2022 for and Delta variants using real-time reverse transcription-PCR tests. The diagnostic precision assays evaluated by high-throughput sequencing four countries. observed...
