Nipah virus, a paramyxovirus linked to Hendra virus that first appeared in Malaysia and is the etiological agent of viral lethal encephalitis, has emerged as strong threat health community recent decades. Viral infections are seriously affecting global health. Since there now no efficient therapeutic options, it will take considerable effort develop appropriate management for virus. The main purpose this study was design messenger RNA-based multi-epitope vaccine construct against This achieved through multiple immunogenic epitopes prediction using antigenic protein immune epitope database analysis resource (IEDB) followed by construction processing. As multi-epitopes we selected potential fragments proteins, therefore host stimulation observed proper responses toward vaccine. In study, V used identify immunodominant utilizing several reverse vaccinology, immunoinformatics biophysical methods. predicted were further analyzed only probable non-toxic designing mRNA based silico target pathogen. total number 03B cell epitopes, 09 Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) 01 Helper (HTL) prioritized good candidate. phase, together EAAAK, GPGPG, KK, AAY linkers, B-defensin (adjuvant), MITD sequences also added increase potency.

Nipah virus, which originated in South-East Asia is a bat-borne virus causing infection humans. This emerging infectious disease has become one of the most alarming threats to public health due its periodic outbreaks and extremely high mortality rate. We establish study novel SIRS model describe dynamics transmission, considering human-to-human as well zoonotic transmission from bats pigs loss immunity. determine basic reproduction number can be obtained maximum three threshold parameters corresponding various ways determining species becomes endemic. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions, we completely global our depending on these parameters. Numerical simulations are shown support theoretical results assess effect intervention measures.

The available data indicate that the human world population will constantly grow in subsequent decades. This constant increase number of people on Earth lead to growth food demand, especially high nutritional value. Therefore, it is expected livestock also increase. Such a phenomenon enhances risk transmitting pathogens humans. As pig production one most significant branches world's production, zoonoses porcine origins seem be particular importance. this review, we aim introduce latest concerning, among other things, epidemiology and preventive measures control viral, bacterial, parasitic origin.

Deforestation, urbanization, and climate change have significantly increased the risk of zoonotic diseases. Nipah virus (NiV) Paramyxoviridae family Henipavirus genus is transmitted by Pteropus bats. Climate-induced changes in bat migration patterns food availability enhances virus's adaptability, turn increasing potential for transmission outbreak risk. NiV infection has high human fatality rate. With no antiviral drugs or vaccines available, exploring complex machinery involved viral RNA synthesis presents a promising target therapy. Drug repurposing provides fast-track approach identifying existing with to RNA-dependent polymerase (L), bypassing time-consuming process developing novel compounds. To facilitate this, we developed an attention-based deep learning model that utilizes pharmacophore properties active sites their binding efficacy L protein. Around 500 FDA-approved were filtered assessed ability bind Compared control Remdesivir, identified Cangrelor, antiplatelet drug cardiovascular diseases, stronger affinity (glide score -12.30 kcal/mol). Molecular dynamics simulations further revealed stable (RMSD 3.54 Å) post-MD energy -181.84 kcal/mol. The strong Cangrelor illustrated through trajectory analysis, principal component solvent accessible surface area, confirming interaction site RdRp. can interact protein may potentially interfere its replication. These findings suggest will be candidate effectively disrupt Further vivo studies are warranted explore as repurposable drug.
