Molecular Surveillance of Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV) and Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) Across Major Aquaculture Zones of Telangana, India
Abstract: Viral diseases represent a persistent threat to cyprinid aquaculture; however, region-specific surveillance data from tropical production systems remain limited. To address this gap, a comprehensive statewide active surveillance programme was undertaken across Telangana, India, from 2019 to 2022 to investigate the occurrence of two priority transboundary pathogens, Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV) and Koi Herpesvirus (KHV). A total of 414 fish specimens were systematically collected from five surveillance sectors …

Uncovering the Comparative Efficacy of Antiviral Drugs and Caricapapaya Phytocompound as VP2H inhibitors in Ebola virus: An Insilico Molecular Docking Analysis
Abstract: The Ebola virus is a fatal disease that transmits from wild animals to humans. Infected individuals' body fluids such as spit, blood, perspiration, faeces, blood, saliva, breast milk, sperm, or fomites can transmit Ebola. Adhesion to cell membranes and penetration into the host organism are essential aspects in viral growth. The presence of VP24, as well as nucleoproteins and structural proteins, is necessary for nucleocapsid formation and integration. The inhibition …

Epstein-Barr virus A Review
Abstract: The unravelling of the molecular pathogenesis of malignancy that had its beginnings in the last third of the twentieth century was, in many ways, sparked by the discovery of virus-associated tumors and oncogenic viruses. Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and other viruses that soon followed were not only exciting stories in themselves but provided models with starting points and outcomes, which, since they were specific, could be dissected and generalized. In …

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia: Prevalence of Bacteria and their Antibiogram in Tertiary Care Centre, Kota, Rajasthan, India
Abstract: Background: Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving procedure, but it is associated with a high risk of acquiring respiratory infections. Hence to prevent it and initiate empirical antimicrobial therapy, knowledge of microbial profile and their local antimicrobial sensitivity pattern are essential. The study aimed to investigate the role of endotracheal aspirate (ETA) surveillance cultures in identifying the aetiology of VAP earlier. Methods: A prospective study was carried out over a period …

A Decade of Viral Evolution (2015–2025): Emergence, Mutations, and Implications for Global Health
Abstract: Over the past decade (2015-2025), viral evolution has profoundly reshaped the global health landscape, challenging healthcare systems, diagnostic tools, therapeutic strategies, and vaccine efficacy. This review comprehensively analyzes the evolutionary trajectories of major human and zoonotic viruses, with a focus on pandemic-prone, drug-resistant, and emerging pathogens. Viral evolution is driven by diverse molecular mechanisms including high mutation rates, recombination, reassortment, host immune pressure, and antiviral interventions, leading to genetic diversification, …

A Comparative Study of the Antimicrobial Activity of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Thymus vulgaris Essential Oils with Chlorhexidine on Salivary Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans
Abstract: The antimicrobial effectiveness of essential oils has been broadly investigated in vitro against various pathogens. However, to our knowledge, there is a lack of reports on evaluating the antimicrobial activities of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) and thyme essential oil (TEO) versus chlorhexidine on oral Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. Here, we evaluated and compared the in vitro antimicrobial capabilities of CEO and TEO on oral S. mutans and C. albicans …

An Overview of Fanconi Anemia: A Genetic Disorder
Abstract: Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disorder caused by DNA repair defects due to pathogenic variants in one of 21 genes. It is the primary cause of inherited bone marrow failure, marked by pancytopenia. Clinically, Fanconi Anemia (FA) is associated with congenital malformations in multiple systems, resulting in progressive bone marrow failure and heightened cancer risk, especially in the urogenital region and the head and neck. There are approximately …

Xenopsylla cheopis and Plague: Biology, Transmission, and Control
Abstract: Xenopsylla cheopis, the oriental rat flea, remains the most important vector of Yersinia pestis in classical rodent–flea–human plague cycles. Its biology is tightly adapted to commensal rats, especially Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus, whose nests provide microhabitats that support all pre adult stages and favour persistent flea populations near humans. The flea’s holometabolous life cycle, including the capacity for prolonged pupal quiescence and opportunistic host-seeking by adults, underpins its ability …

Progress from the Traditional Vaccines to Novel Rational Vaccine Designs
Abstract: Vaccines are among the most valuable assets for saving human and animal lives. The vaccines discovered and designed on the Pasteurian principles laid the foundations of the traditional vaccine regime during the late-19th century. Some traditional vaccine designs proved remarkably successful, while others had safety or efficacy problems, and still others failed- particularly those against diseases caused by non-cultivable, hyper-variable or opportunist pathogens, or those requiring cellular immunity. The problems …
