Survey of Rift Valley Fever Virus Antibodies and Risk Factors in Small Ruminants in Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria: A Cross-Sectional Serological Study. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
High seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever virus antibodies (47.9%) in small ruminants in Maiduguri indicates substantial past exposure. Age, sex, and residence in flood‐prone areas were significant risk factors, highlighting the need for targeted surveillance and vector control to reduce livestock and public health impacts.

Verification of False Reactivity in HIV Rapid Diagnostic Tests and Its Translation Into the Three Tests Algorithm in Cameroon

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Verification study enabled the detection of HIV false reactivity ranging from 0‐4% across rapid diagnostic tests. A reliable three‐tests algorithm ranked First Response HIV 1‐2‐0 Card, First Response HIV1+2/Syphilis Combo or STANDARD Q as suitable test 1 to mitigate false positive events. As countries move toward HIV elimination, implementing the three‐
