Real Time Characterization of BA.2.86 and Its Variant (JN.1) in Senegal Using Midnight Protocol
Abstract: During the week ending August 13th, 2023, the most prevalent variant of interest (VOI), uploaded to GISAID, was the BA.2.86 variant. This SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineage was described as the first phylogenetically distinct from the currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB lineages, including EG.5.1 and HK.3. Compared to the XBB and BA.2 lineages, the BA.2.86 possesses more than 30 mutations in the Spike (S) protein, suggesting a significant potential for immune evasion. …

First Insights into Whole Genome Sequencing of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex: Molecular Diversity and Drug Susceptibility Patterns in Senegal
Abstract: Background: We conducted a bibliographic analysis of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in sub-Saharan Africa, which included the analysis of 8,139 genomic sequences from 34 of the 49 sub-Saharan African countries. Notably, only one complete sequence from Senegal was identified, which had been generated in the United States. Our primary objective was to utilize whole genome sequencing (WGS) to detect resistance in anti-tuberculous strains of the MTBC in Senegal. This …

Live Epidemiological Tracking of COVID-19 in Senegalese Participants of the Hajj
Abstract: Background: Since the COVID-19 outbreak, global efforts have focused on controlling the disease. However, intense cross border movements pose a risk for the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 strains. A recent example is the detection of cases among the 2024 Senegalese pilgrims returning from Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Investigations of these cases have revealed genomic evolution of the virus. The lack of surveillance may lead to the emergence of high-threat strains. This …

COVID-19 Resurgence in 2025: India’s Continuing Public Health Challenge
Abstract: The year 2025 has witnessed the resurgence of COVID-19, reigniting concerns at both global and national levels regarding the persistent threat posed by SARS-CoV-2. In early 2025, India witnessed a moderate resurgence of COVID‑19, characterized by the emergence of Omicron sub-variants and a rise in mild-to-moderate infections. As of mid-June, active COVID‑19 cases in India totaled approximately 6,000–7,400, with hotspots in Kerala (~2,100 cases), Delhi (~600), Maharashtra (~500), and several …

Viral Chronicles: The Ever-Evolving Saga of COVID-19
Abstract: Coronaviruses, belonging to the family of RNA viruses, have recently captured global attention owing to their remarkable ability to infect a diverse array of species, ranging from animals to humans. These viral agents, recognized by their characteristic crown-like morphology when observed through electron microscopy, have a historical association with zoonotic diseases. Previous examples include Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The term "Corona" …

An Evaluative Comparison of CD123 and CD66c as Biomarkers to Detect Minimal Residual Disease in B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Abstract: Background: B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) often shows lineage heterogeneity with lymphoid cells expressing myeloid markers. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) refers to the small number of cancer cells that may remain in a patient's body after treatment and that are undetectable by standard diagnostic methods. In diseases like B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), MRD is a critical prognostic indicator, as its presence can signal a higher risk of relapse. In …

Genetic Authentication of Acacia Senegal (L.) Wild
Abstract: A study was carried out to ascertain the taxonomic identity and phylogenetic lineage of three presumed Acacia senegalensis using molecular markers. Three (3) varieties of seeds presumed to belong to Acacia spp. were collected from the Rubber Research Institute of Nigeria (RRIN) Benin City and three BP haplotypes (A, B, and C) was used as control for the analysis. These seeds were processed at the Applied Biotech International Laboratory Nigeria …

Ensuring Data Traceability Across Multiple Cloud Environments
Abstract: This study investigates the challenges and solutions for ensuring data traceability across multiple cloud environments. With organizations' increasing reliance on cloud infrastructure, maintaining data traceability is crucial for compliance, data integrity, and secure data management. The diversity of cloud systems, spanning public, private, and hybrid models, introduces complexities in tracking data lineage, access, and movement. This study delves into multi-cloud strategies' technical and operational hurdles, such as varying data formats, …

An Analysis of Stoic Characters from the Lies I Tell by Julie Clark
Abstract: The research delves into the analysis of stoic characters from The Lies I Tell in various perspectives. The argument rests on those character's specific characteristics of being a stoic person and following the philosophies of the stoic human. Using a literary-philosophical approach, the analysis explores how both protagonists demonstrate the stoic ideal in distinct ways. Meg Williams, in her calculated acts of retribution, exhibits controlled reasoning and a deep, though …

Expression Profiling of Immunomodulatory Genes in Canine Adipose Tissue–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Abstract: Adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSC) represent a heterogeneous population of self-renewing, multipotent progenitor cells residing in the stromal compartment of adipose tissue. Canine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells have attracted significant interest in regenerative medicine due to their therapeutic potential in naturally occurring canine diseases and their translational relevance to human medicine. In the present study, canine adipose tissue–derived MSCs (cAT-MSCs) were isolated and differentiated into osteogenic, chondrogenic and …
