Sero-Epidemiology of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis in Children in Ilorin, Kwara State
Journal of Bioresource Management, 2023 Rotavirus is responsible for the most severe dehydrating diarrhea among young children due
to gastroenteritis. In this study, we aimed to ascertain the occurrence of childhood

In this study, we aimed to ascertain the occurrence of childhood gastroenteritis caused by Rotavirus among infants and young children who are younger than 5 years of age in Ilorin, Kwara State and determined the risk factors posing the challenges to be susceptible to diarrhea associated with rotavirus in Ilorin, Kwara State. Diarrhea stool samples were collected from children who passed watery stools, who met predetermined inclusion criteria and who presented at the study hospitals Viz: General Hospital and Specialist Hospital Alagbado and Children Specialist Hospital, Igboro. All within Kwara State either on outpatient care basis or those admitted into the pediatric ward. Sample of stool habouring rotavirus antigens was detected by commercial Rotavirus IgM ELISA kit to target recent infections among the participants. Out of three hundred (300) stool samples that were collected from children suffering from acute diarrhea, a total number of eighty-six (86) were found to be Rotavirus positive (28.7 %) and two hundred and fourteen (214) were found to be negative (71.3%). The age group 3-5 years, showed the highest prevalence rate which is in line with some research findings that attribute this age range with certain feeding habits and cultural practices, predisposing them to gastroenteritis. It is therefore advised that parents and guardian alike should ensure that special care is given to children, with emphasis on their feeding habits and sanitation.

INTRODUCTION Rotavirus is a non-enveloped double stranded RNA viruses belonging to Reoviridae, Rotavirus is one of them, other members of this family include orthoreoviruses, obiviruses, aquareoviruses etc. (Mertens 2005). Infants and young children are often affected by diarrhea caused by rotavirus infections. There are about 128,500 deaths associated with Rotavirus worldwide each year, with 70 % of cases occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa (Jonesteller et al., 2017). Approximately 258 million gastroenteritis cases are caused b +2 moredoaj Tetraspanin SfCD9 as a Key Membrane Binding Factor of SRBSDV P10 Facilitates Viral Entry Into Sogatella furcifera Midgut Epithelial Cells via Clathrin‐Mediated Endocytosis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 4794-4812, November 2025.ABSTRACT
Many plant viruses trigger abnormal differentiation and development of host cells, causing distinct symptoms. Here, in a single‐cell RNA sequence analysis, we find transcriptional heterogeneity between cells from rice leaf sheaths that are infected with rice black streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) and from those that are virus‐free.Nan Wu, Lu Gan, Qingqing Suo, Fei Yang, Wenwen Liu, Xifeng Wang, Huaibing Jin +6 morewiley +1 more sourceSystemic remodeling of the multi-organ virome following Echinococcus infection in mice.
