Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a highly contagious, economically important of livestock and wildlife species. Active monitoring understanding the epidemiology FMDV underpin foundations control programmes. In many endemic areas, however, veterinary resources are limited, resulting in requirement for simple sampling techniques to increase supplement surveillance efforts. this study, environmental was used first time at markets abattoirs across Cameroon assess opportunities broad scale,...
To investigate the antibacterial activity of Zingiber officinale (ginger) Garcinia kola (bitter kola) on four respiratory tract pathogens.
To determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in patients with gastro-duodenal pathologies and susceptibility patterns isolates to currently recommended antibiotic treatment regimen used Cameroon.Consecutive dyspeptic referred Douala General Hospital, Cameroon for endoscopy were recruited study. Gastric biopsies collected from H. isolated identified following standard microbiology biochemical techniques. Antibiotic was determined by disk diffusion agar dilution methods against...
Haematologic abnormalities are features in Plasmodium falciparum infection, and anaemia is an inevitable outcome. This study examines the influence of malaria status altitude on haematologic parameters school-aged pupils.A cross-sectional was conducted among 728 school pupils aged between four 15 years at three different altitudinal ranges along slope Mount Cameroon region. The investigative methods included use questionnaire, clinical evaluation laboratory investigations. Blood sample...
Rickettsia africae was identified in seven (6%) of 118 patients with acute fevers unknown etiology proven not to be malaria or typhoid fever from clinics along the coastal region Cameroon by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing citrate synthase (gltA) outer membrane protein A (ompA) genes Rickettsia. The majority (71%) were female. Clinical manifestations included (100%), headache (71%), myalgia arthralgia (43%), pulmonary involvement (29%), diffuse rash (14%)....
Objectives. We examined Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric-related morbidities at Livingstone Hospital, Port Elizabeth, to determine the prevalence and risk factors for according race, endoscopic diagnosis, age sex. Methods. Gastric biopsies were collected from 254 consecutive H. isolated on Columbia agar base supplemented 7% sheep's blood Skirrow's supplement containing trimethoprim (2.5 mg), vancomycin (5 mg) cefsulodin mg). Amphotericin was added medium. Recovered...
Mycobacteria cause major diseases including human tuberculosis, bovine tuberculosis and Johne's disease. In livestock, the dominant species is M. bovis causing (bTB), a disease of global zoonotic importance. this study, we estimated prevalence in slaughter cattle Cameroon. A total 2,346 were examined cross-sectional study at four abattoirs Up to three lesions per animal collected for further retropharyngeal lymph node was from random sample non-lesioned animals. Samples cultured on...
Control of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and zoonotic (zTB) has relied upon surveillance slaughter infected cattle, milk pasteurisation public health education. In Cameroon, like many other sub-Saharan African countries, there is limited understanding current cattle husbandry or processing practices livestock keepers awareness bTB. This paper describes within different Cameroonian keeping communities bTB in comparison to infectious diseases.
The consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods contaminated with coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS) and especially
Great efforts were being made to stop the spread and impact of coronavirus pandemic through vaccines.Cameroon began vaccinating healthcare workers (HCWs) against COVID-19 vaccines on March, 2021.However, willingness be vaccinated highly depends factors other than vaccine availability.This study sought measure acceptance rate related for vaccination among HCWs in Yaoundé, Cameroon.A cross-sectional was conducted with 510 Yaounde, Cameroon.Data collected, reviewed, entered into Excel 2016,...
Abstract We describe the largest molecular epidemiological study of Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB) in a sub-Saharan African country with higher spatial resolution providing new insights into bTB. Four hundred and ninety-nine samples were collected for culture from 201 179 cattle without bTB-like lesions respectively out 2,346 slaughtered at Bamenda, Ngaoundere, Garoua Maroua abattoirs between 2012–2013. Two fifty-five M. bovis isolated, identified genotyped using deletion analysis, Hain® Genotype...
Abstract While the SARS-CoV-2 dynamic has been described globally, there is a lack of data from Sub-Saharan Africa. We herein report dynamics lineages March 2020 to 2022 in Cameroon. Of 760 whole-genome sequences successfully generated by national genomic surveillance network, 74% were viral sub-lineages origin and non-variants concern, 15% Delta, 6% Omicron, 3% Alpha 2% Beta variants. The pandemic was driven wave 1 (16 weeks, 2.3% CFR), variants 2 (21 1.6% Delta 3 (11 2.0% omicron 4 (8...
Botanicals have shown promise in mitigating antibiotic resistance bacteria. This study examined the efficacy of methanolic extracts from two food plants ( Nephelium lappaceum and Hyphaene thebaica ), alone combination with antibiotics, against critical class priority bacteria, including multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains clinical isolates Staphylococcus aureus , Klebsiella pneumoniae Pseudomonas aeruginosa Enterobacter aerogenes Escherichia coli . The herbals underwent testing using a...
