Current status of recombinase polymerase amplification technologies for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms

Shanshan Zhang, Mingyuan Duan, Shuang Li, Jie Hou, Ting Qin, Zhanwei Teng, Jianhe Hu, Huihui Zhang, Xiaojing Xia

Summary: Rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms is crucial for epidemiologic identification, prevention, and control in public health. PCR-based methods have limitations in resource-limited areas due to the need for precise temperature control. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a new nucleic acid amplification technology that can amplify DNA or RNA at a constant temperature, offering simplicity, high specificity and sensitivity, and short detection time. Microfluidic technology combined with RPA enables rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms by integrating nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and detection.

Tick-borne pathogens in camels: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence in dromedaries

El-Sayed El-Alfy, Ibrahim Abbas, Somaya Saleh, Rana Elseadawy, Ragab M. Fereig, Mohamed Abdo Rizk, Xuenan Xuan

Summary: Published data on tick-borne pathogens in camels worldwide have been collected, providing an overview of their global prevalence and species diversity. Evidence of natural infection of camels with certain tick-borne pathogens is limited, particularly because most of the camels were considered healthy at the time of sampling. More research is needed to understand the role of camels in maintaining and transmitting these pathogens.

Summary: This study evaluated multiple treatment failures to modern antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected individuals and found that approximately 4% of them were difficult to treat. The difficult to treat group, compared to the non-difficult to treat group, was characterized by older age, higher prevalence of AIDS, lower CD4+ cell count, and higher risk of treatment failure.

Emerging novel sequence types of Staphylococcus aureus in Pakistan

Ambrina Khatoon, Syed F. Hussain, Syed M. Shahid, Santosh Kumar Sidhwani, Salman Ahmed Khan, Omer Ahmed Shaikh, Abdulqadir J. Nashwan

Summary: Despite the increasing incidence of Staphylococcus aureus infection and dissemination in Pakistan, research on the epidemiology of different Staphylococcus aureus clones has been limited. This study used multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to analyze the epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus in the area, finding high diversity of locally circulating clones defined by their geographic epidemiology.

microRNA as biomarkers in tuberculosis: a new emerging molecular diagnostic solution

Piyush Agrawal, Aditya Upadhyay, Awanish Kumar

Summary: Tuberculosis is a lethal infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. During infection, the expression of host microRNAs changes, which could be potential biomarkers for early detection of tuberculosis. Further research is needed to identify potential microRNA biomarkers, but momentum is gaining in this field and microRNAs are expected to become routine approaches for reliable diagnosis and specific therapeutic interventions.

Drivers of divergent assessments of bisphenol-A hazards to semen quality by various European agencies, regulators and scientists

Andreas Kortenkamp, Olwenn Martin, Eleni Iacovidou, Martin Scholze

Summary: The European Food Safety Authority's downward revision of the Health-based Guidance Value for bisphenol A (BPA) has led to disagreements with other regulatory agencies, particularly the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment. The differing views between EFSA and BfR are driven by their respective selection of endpoints and study evaluation systems, as well as their acceptance or refusal of immunotoxic effects as a basis for establishing a Health-based Guidance Value.

Exploring the influence of host community composition on the outbreak potential of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi s.l.

Nannet D. Fabri, Hans Heesterbeek, Joris P. G. M. Cromsigt, Frauke Ecke, Hein Sprong, Lonneke Nijhuis, Tim R. Hofmeester, Nienke Hartemink

Summary: In many parts of the northern hemisphere, different species of deer, small mammals, and birds coexist and their composition can strongly influence the outbreak potential of tick-borne pathogens. This study investigates how the abundance and composition of vertebrate communities affect the basic reproduction number R0 of tick-borne pathogens, and shows that species composition plays a substantial role in the outbreak potential of tick-borne diseases.

Babesia negevi infection in dogs and response to treatment

Harold Salant, Yaarit Nachum-Biala, Doni Zivotofsky, Tsachi Even Tzur, Gad Baneth

Summary: This study describes the presentation, clinical signs, parasitemia levels, laboratory findings and treatment of dogs infected with B. negevi. Treatment with imidocarb dipropionate was helpful for recovery from clinical disease but did not facilitate parasite elimination, and it is therefore recommended to treat canine B. negevi infection with the combination of atovaquone and azithromycin.
