Health Science Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 6(7)

Опубликована: Июль 1, 2023

The Nipah virus is a zoonotic infection that can potentially be transmitted from person to as well through ingesting contaminated food. It has high fatality rate, and no treatment or cure at present. Several nations in South Asia have reported outbreaks occurred during particular season of the year. Since it was first found Bangladesh 2001, there been total 335 people infected with it, 237 those passed away result their infection. With increased public awareness, community engagement, preventative measures, this fatal suppressed. Yet, following pandemic considerable increase health burden, transmission rate continuously over few years, indicating growing possibility become global concern. Without effective vaccines reliable options, its capacity for human-to-human potential spread throughout area could disastrous emergency worldwide.

Mpox (monkeypox) infection has become a global concern for healthcare authorities after spreading in multiple non-endemic countries. Following the sudden multi-country outbreak of Mpox, World Health Organization (WHO) declared public health emergency international concern. We do not have any vaccines approved prevention infection. Therefore, endorsed smallpox disease. Here we intended to perform this cross-sectional study among adult males Bangladesh assess vaccine perception and vaccination intention.We conducted web-based survey from September 1, 2022, November 30, using Google Forms. assessed intention. performed chi-square test compare intention levels. Also, logistic regression analyses determine association between parameters sociodemographic profile participants.According present study, was high 60.54% respondents. 60.05% respondents showed medium were strongly associated with profiles participants. Furthermore, discovered significant level education age marital status played role intention.Our findings characteristics perception/vaccination Along country's long experience mass immunization, campaigns about Covid-19 rates might play recommend more social awareness educational communications or seminars target population bring positive changes their attitude towards prevention.

Risk evaluation and mitigation strategies for newly detected SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron BF.7 subvariant: A brief report

Health Science Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 6(3)

Опубликована: Март 1, 2023

Abstract Mutations of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) are always going on. The pathogenic characteristics a virus influenced by mutations in viral genome. Therefore, recently identified Omicron BF.7 subvariant might harm humans. Here we aimed to evaluate potential risks this newly detected variant and identify possible mitigation strategies. frequent mutation associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 makes it more concerning compared other viruses. has unique changes structural amino acid. Thus, subvariants different from variants terms spread, disease severity, vaccine neutralization capacity, immunity evade. Moreover, is an offspring BA.4 BA.5. Similar S glycoprotein sequences present among BF.7, BA.4, There change R346T gene receptor binding site than subvariants. This created limitation current monoclonal antibody therapy. mutated since emerged, improving transmission as well evasion. healthcare authorities should pay attention Omicron. recent upsurge may create havoc all sudden. Scientists researchers across world monitor nature variants. Also, they find ways fight circulatory any future mutations.

Marburg virus disease (MVD) caused by the has a high mortality rate. Rousettus aegyptiacus fruit bats act as natural reservoir host of virus. But it can also potentially be transmitted from person to through direct contact with body secretions. The recent outbreaks have already killed seven people out nine confirmed cases in Equatorial Guinea and five patients eight Tanzania. In past, Ghana reported three MVD two associated deaths 2022. Specific treatments or vaccines are unavailable for MVD, supportive care is primary treatment option. history current scenario show its potential become an emerging threat global public health. Tanzania fatality absence effective raises concerns about cause widespread harm. Besides, capacity human-to-human transmission cross country's border could result multicountry outbreak. Therefore, we recommend intensive surveillance preventative measures, early detection limit spread prevent another pandemic.
