Trends of cholera epidemics and associated mortality factors in Cameroon: 2018–2023: a cross-sectional study

BMC Public Health
Background Cameroon has faced frequent and severe cholera outbreaks since 1971, with case-fatality rates (CFRs) ranging from 12% in 1991, to 5.3% in 2014, all higher than the less than 1% cholera CFR target set by WHO. However, not many studies providing

Ultrasensitive Detection of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Infections Using Multivalent DNA Nanostructure‐Enabled Lateral Flow Assay

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent DNA nanostructure‐enabled lateral flow assay was developed for rapid, ultrasensitive detection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) nucleocapsid protein. Designer net‐shaped DNA nanostructures (DNA‐Net) presenting PEDV‐specific aptamers achieved ~1000‐fold enhanced binding, enabling detection of viral copies with Ct ≤ 37.42 within 10
