Development and validation of serological assays for viral hemorrhagic fevers and determination of the prevalence of Rift Valley fever in Borno State, Nigeria

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014
Background Rift Valley fever (RVF) is endemic to the tropical regions of eastern and southern Africa. The seroprevalence of RVF was investigated among the human population in Borno State, Nigeria to determine the occurrence of the disease in the study ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced immunity reduces rates of reinfection and hospitalization caused by the Delta or Omicron variants

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
During a pandemic, effective vaccines are typically in short supply, particularly at onset intervals when the wave is accelerating. We conducted an observational, retrospective analysis of aggregated data from all patients who tested positive for SARS ...

Hospital-Based Surveillance for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers and Hepatitides in Ghana

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
Background Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF) are acute diseases associated with bleeding, organ failure, and shock. VHF may hardly be distinguished clinically from other diseases in the African hospital, including viral hepatitis.

Viral Hyperparasitism in Bat Ectoparasites: Implications for Pathogen Maintenance and Transmission

Microorganisms, 2022
Humans continue to encroach on the habitats of wild animals, potentially bringing different species into contact that would not typically encounter each other under natural circumstances, and forcing them into stressful, suboptimal conditions.

Vaccines for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers – Progress and Shortcomings

Current Opinion in Virology, 2013
With a few exceptions, vaccines for viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever remain unavailable or lack well-documented efficacy. In the past decade this has not been due to a lack of the ability to develop vaccine platforms against highly pathogenic viruses,

Viral hemorrhagic fevers: advancing the level of treatment

BMC Medicine, 2012
The management of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) has mainly focused on strict infection control measures, while standard clinical interventions that are provided to patients with other life-threatening conditions are rarely offered to patients with VHFs.

Surveillance of Rift Valley Fever in Iran between 2001 and 2011

All Results Journals: Biol, 2013
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an acute zoonotic viral disease that mostly affects ruminants with an occasional spillover as human infection. Following the outbreak of RVF in Saudi Arabia in 2000, surveillance of both animal and human population in ...
