Scrub typhus is a mite-borne, re-emerging public health problem in India, particularly Tamil Nadu, South India. More than 40 serotypes of Orientia tsutsugamushi have been documented worldwide. However, the information on circulation its molecular sub-types India scanty. A retrospective study was conducted among serologically confirmed cases scrub typhus. DNA isolated from blood screened by nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) targeting GroEL and 56 kDa type-specific antigen (TSA) genes....
Rickettsia is an important pathogenic entity among tick-borne diseases (TBD), which are considered serious emerging public health problems globally. In India, though the widespread distribution of ticks and TBD has been documented, its real burden remains underreported. a preliminary attempt, rickettsial surveillance was carried out in collected from Sirumalai, Eastern Ghats Tamil Nadu, India by using pathogen genome-based phylogenetic inferences generated through multi-locus sequence typing...

Patient-specific implants are well known for fixing the fracture bone repairs. However, exact fixation of fabricated implant to patients is a challenging task. To overcome this problem, in present study two kinds designs developed and fabricated. Based on fitting patient’s oral system, best design selected fabricate. Computed tomography (CT) scan data patient anatomy converted into 3D model using DICOM Software “Slicer 3D.” The patient-specific maxillofacial fused filament fabrication (FFF)...
Scrub typhus (St) is a mite-borne, re-emerging public health problem in India, particularly Tamil Nadu, South India. More than 40 serotypes of Orientia tsutsugamishi (Ot) have been documented worldwide. However, the information on circulation its molecular sub-types India scanty and has not completely understood. A retrospective study was conducted among serologically confirmed cases scrub typhus. DNA isolated from blood, screened by nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR), targeting GroEL...
