Island communities along the Volta Lake in southern Ghana present unique challenges for malaria control, characterized by high transmission rates, limited vector control measures, and isolated ecosystems. This study assessed diversity, seasonal abundance, transmission, insecticide resistance status of vectors these to inform effective strategies. Mosquitoes were collected from three island (Tuanikope, Allorkpem, Pediatorkope) using human landing catches, light traps, prokopack aspirators...

An epidemiological survey of Theileria annulata infection was undertaken in a cattle population Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh. The local breeds from the area (North Bengal Gray and Deshi) crosses between Holstein were predominantly screened. In total, 192 serum samples collected two areas District (n=147) Natore (n=45). screened with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using T. surface protein (TaSP) as antigen. seroprevalence 80.0% (36/45) 20.4% (30/147) Rajshahi. A logistic regression...

In South Asia, Theileria annulata is known to be less pathogenic local breeds of Bos indicus cattle comparing taurus and some mix between them. Seroepidemiological surveys have revealed high sero-prevalence T. in asymptomatic Bangladesh. Therefore, these infection can infectious sources more sensitive breeds. this study, 59 bloods showing no symptom were screened by species specific PCRs for hemoto-protozoan parasites, prove the existence parasite The was confirmed along with other parasitic...

Abstract Background: The dissemination of colistin-resistant bacteria carrying the mobile gene, mcr-1 threatens medical care worldwide. In particular, contamination food with accelerates community bacteria. Therefore, monitoring in is important for controlling resistant Unfortunately, conventional culture methods detecting are not practical saftey. development a simple and rapid method to detect desirable as an effective means preventing bacteria, particularly Findings: We developed...
