Knowledge, Attitude & Practices of Hepatitis B Infection and Serum Antibody Analysis among Hepatitis B Vaccinated Healthcare Workers in Tertiary Care Hospital in North India
Abstract: Introduction: Health care workers are particularly at high risk of acquiring Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and other infections through needle stick injuries (NSI). HBV transmission can be contained through vaccination among health care workers (HCWs). However, 10-15% individuals have poor response. This study was therefore done to assess knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) and to evaluate the anti-HBs antibody titres in HBV vaccinated HCWs in tertiary care hospital. Material and …

CRISPR, Recombinant DNA, and LAMP-Based Platforms for Monkeypox: Emerging Tools for Diagnosis and Therapeutic Development
Abstract: Monkeypox, a zoonotic viral infection caused by the Monkeypox virus of the Orthopoxvirus genus, has recurred as a worldwide public health concern after recent outbreaks outside of its classical endemic areas in Central and West Africa. The resurgence has demanded a thorough reassessment of its epidemiology, mode of transmission, and clinical presentation. In light of these challenges, recombinant DNA technology (rDNA) has emerged as a candidate for developing vaccines, diagnostics, …

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, …
