Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasingly recognised as being responsible for
a substantial proportion of the global burden of disease. Neurosurgical interventions are an …

A pilot field study, involving periodic augmentative release of predatory larvae of a dragonfly,
Crocothemis servilia (Drury), to suppress a mosquito, Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus), was …

Potential depletion of fossil fuel and climate change have globally accelerated the demand
in renewable and alternative energy. Most of the Southeast Asian countries have an …

The rotavirus-induced diarrhea of human and animal neonates is a major public health
concern worldwide. Until recently, no effective therapy is available to specifically inactivate the …

Understanding how health systems respond to shocks has become a pressing need to

Objectives We assessed the effect of an active case finding (ACF) project on tuberculosis (TB)
case notification and the yields from a household and neigbourhood intervention (…

Technologies for visualizing and tracking RNA are essential in molecular biology, including
in disease-related fields. In this study, we propose a novel probe set (DAt-probe and T-probe…

In 2001, dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1) populations in humans and mosquitoes from Myanmar
acquired a stop-codon mutation in the surface envelope (E) protein gene. Within a year, …

The four genetically divergent dengue virus (DENV) types are traditionally classified as
serotypes. Antigenic and genetic differences among the DENV types influence disease outcome, …

While much of the genetic variation in RNA viruses arises because of the error-prone nature
of their RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, much larger changes may occur as a result of …
