Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 672-712, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis andMycobacterium bovis,Uganda

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: In 2005, prevalence of human tuberculosis (TB) in Uganda was 559 cases/100,000 population (1). In 2002, the average number of extrapulmonary TB cases in humans, considered a crude indicator of the level of bovine TB, was 7.5% of TB cases for Uganda and 6% for Mbarara district, the main Ugandan milk basin (2). Worldwide, the proportion of

MYCOBACTERIUM BOVIS IN WILDLIFE IN FRANCE [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008
In early 2001, tuberculosis-like lesions were detected in three hunter-killed red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the Brotonne Forest (Normandy, France), and Mycobacterium bovis was isolated. In subsequent hunting seasons, two surveys were conducted in the area.

Bovine Tuberculosis in Raw Milk: A Herd‐Level Prevalence Study by PCR and ELISA Testing in Sylhet Region of Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study reveals the prevalence of bovine TB from vendor's milk and herd‐level testing using molecular approach: PCR and ELISA test highlighting the risk factor dynamics that shape bovine tuberculosis (bTB) occurrence in Sylhet region of Bangladesh. The findings advance understanding of bTB for diagnostics and surveillance strategies.

The Central Role of IFI204 in IFN-β Release and Autophagy Activation during Mycobacterium bovis Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is the pathogen of animals and humans that can replicate in the phagosomes of myeloid cells. Cytosolic detection of bacterial products plays a crucial role in initiating the innate immune response, including autophagy ...

A non-sense mutation in the putative anti-mutator gene ada/alkA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis isolates suggests convergent evolution [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Previous studies have suggested that variations in DNA repair genes of W-Beijing strains may have led to transient mutator phenotypes which in turn may have contributed to host adaptation of this strain family. Single nucleotide polymorphism (
