Abstract Vaccination is a key control measure of COVID-19 by preventing severe effects disease outcomes, reducing hospitalization rates and death, increasing immunity. However, vaccination can affect the evolution adaptation SARS-CoV-2, largely through vaccine-induced immune pressure. Here we investigated intrahost recombination single nucleotide variations (iSNVs) on SARS-CoV-2 genome in non-vaccinated vaccinated sequences from Kenyan population to profile viral genetic adaptations driven...
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a febrile vector-borne disease endemic in Africa and continues to spread new territories. It climate-sensitive mostly triggered by abnormal rainfall patterns. The associated with high mortality morbidity both humans livestock. RVF caused the virus (RVFV) of genus Phlebovirus family Phenuiviridae. tripartite RNA three genomic segments: small (S), medium (M) large (L). Pathogen sequencing becoming routine procedure powerful tool for understanding evolutionary...
Abstract Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has become a useful public health tool as an early warning system revealing emergence/re-emergence of pathogenic diseases and spread antimicrobial resistance (AMR). WBS is crucial in development rapid response increasing awareness to curb dangers associated with disease emergence antibiotic resistance. In this study, we characterized bacterial pathogens detected wastewater, their composition, relative abundance resistant genes (ARGs) from...
