INTRODUCTION: Valganciclovir is commonly used for prophylaxis or preemptive therapy to prevent post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in kidney transplant recipients. However, there are a limited data on the outcome association between valganciclovir clinical characteristics of recipients, particularly those who CMV seronegative (R-) receiving from seropositive donors (D+), as well populations with high seroprevalence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective,...
Adipogenesis is the process by which preadipocytes develop into mature adipocytes and an increase in adipose mass may lead to obesity. Obesity categorized as a chronic, low-grade inflammatory condition that can give rise reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Antioxidants help mitigate ROS, protecting cells tissues from oxidative damage. Therefore, this study evaluates antioxidant activities inhibitory effects of Parkia speciosa Hassk. pod extract (PSPE) on adipogenesis 3T3-L1 adipocytes....
A study was conducted to establish polymorphic variation of the mitochondrial DNA encoding cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene in Aedes albopictus isolated from 2 hot spot dengue-infested areas Subang Jaya District, Malaysia. phylogenetic analysis performed with use sequences obtained USJ6 and Taman Mas (TSM). Comparison local CO1 a laboratory strain (USM), alongside reference strains derived GenBank database revealed low genetic terms nucleotide differences haplotype diversity. Four...
Dengue fever (DF) is an urban vector-borne disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti and albopictus. Both species deposit their eggs in favorable breeding sites either natural or artificial containers. An understanding of habitat characteristics crucial curbing DF outbreaksA search destroy survey was carried out at 10 dengue hotspot localities Shah Alam, Malaysia. A quantitative in-situ measurement selected physical parameters conducted focusing on the environmental presence vegetation. Larvae...
The aim of the present study was therefore to determine infestation profile (IP) by performing entomological surveillance activities in apartments and flats within Subang Jaya, Selangor. Results implied that Ae.albopictus dominant both types multi-storey buildings (IP=60%). Interestingly, Ae.aegypti (IP=20%) were found outdoors flats. In addition, tended display high ovitrap index (OI= 16.7%) compared (OI=6.06), based on mosquito density analysis. There however, no significant difference...
Data on annual cumulative DF cases in Melaka Tengah from 2013 to 2016 was used determine the distribution pattern of cases. The spatial examined using average nearest neighbour (ANN) techniques and kernel density estimation (KDE) detect hotspot areas. dengue incidence within area showed that dispersed at multiple distances. Also, this study simulated model by extrapolating activity previous interepidemic period. It found epidemic spread throughout during end years between July December, wide...
Naïve Felidae in the wild may harbor infectious viruses of importance due to cross-species transmission between domesticated animals or human–wildlife contact. However, limited information is available on virus shedding viremia captive felids, especially Malaysia. Four cat, feline herpesvirus (FHV), calicivirus (FCV), canine distemper (CDV), and parvovirus (CPV), were screened leopards, feral cats, tigers Malaysia based isolation Crandell-Rees kidney (CRFK) cells, PCR/RT-PCR, whole-genome...
The rapid spread of multidrug-resistance against conventional antibiotics is a global threat that necessitates the search for alternative therapies from natural sources. In this study, antibacterial potentials chloroform and methanol extracts mung bean sprout (MBS) or Vigna radiata (L) Wilzeck were evaluated Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae Salmonella spp. using agar disk diffusion method minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assessment. Both showed...
The complete genome sequence of the ALL-03 strain rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV) has been determined. RCMV a length 197,958 bp and is arranged as single unique flanked by 504-bp terminal direct repeats. This closely related to English in terms genetic arrangement but differs slightly size.
The global expansion of Ae. albopictus from its native range in Southeast Asia has been implicated the recent emergence dengue endemicity Malaysia. Genetic variability studies are currently lacking Malaysian setting, yet crucial to enhancing existing vector control strategies. study was conducted establish genetic maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA encoding for cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene albopictus. Twelve localities were selected Subang Jaya district based on temporal...
This study was performed to establish the genetic variability of Aedes albopictus within Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, by using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase 5 subunit (ND5) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) marker. A total 90 samples were collected from 9 localities an area Jaya Municipality. Genetic determined through amplification and sequencing a fragment ND5 gene. Eight distinct mtDNA haplotypes identified. The evolutionary relationship local alongside 28 reference strains...
Aedes albopictus is one of the most invasive mosquitoes in world that harbors and can transmit many arboviruses, notably dengue chikungunya virus. In recent time, Ae. aegypti has gained more attention during outbreaks compared to its counter parts, obscuring role as a vector. Moreover, existing data regarding also currently limited Malaysia. Hence, present study was conducted determine genetic diversity using molecular techniques from two infested areas Subang Jaya, Selangor, namely Taman...
