Existence, Evolution, History and Impact of Ebola Virus Disease on Humans: A Mini Review
Abstract: The Ebola virus, a zoonotic virus belonging to the Filoviridae family, is predominantly found in the Congo, Sudan, and various other regions of Africa. This highly virulent virus poses a significant threat to human health, with infection typically occurring through direct contact with animals, particularly bats. The disease caused by the Ebola virus, known as Ebola virus disease (EVD), manifests through a wide array of symptoms. Initial signs include hemorrhagic …

Nipah Virus Disease: A Comprehensive Review of Epidemiology, Clinical Features, and Public Health Implications
Abstract: Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae and genus Henipavirus. First identified during an outbreak in Malaysia in 1998, Nipah virus has since become a significant public health concern, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. The virus primarily spreads from fruit bats (Pteropus species) to humans, either directly or via intermediate hosts such as pigs, and is also capable of human-to-human transmission. Infection can …

Understanding Streptococcus suis infection in pigs
Abstract: Streptococcus suis is one of the significant pig pathogen, causing septicemia with sudden death, arthritis, meningitis, and endocarditis in piglets after weaning. It's leading to economic losses in the pig industry all over the world. It's a typical resident of the upper respiratory tract, and it's easy to find in tonsils, which are a natural niche for it. It may also be isolated from clinically healthy pigs' gastrointestinal and reproductive …

Covid-19–A Real Killer or Created Hullabaloo
Abstract: In Current scenario, it seems as the medical science just knows only the NOVEL CORONA VIRUS (nCOv) as the only existing disease or infection on this planet and no other pathology exists. nCoV is a newly discovered strain that has not been known in humans to cause any infection in the past. In last 20 years we have seen the large-scale disease outbreaks which were caused by the zoonotic coronaviruses. …

A Review Study of Coronavirus Disease-2020 (COVID-19) in India
Abstract: Coronaviruses possess a distinctive morphology, the name being derived from the outer fringe, or “corona” of embedded envelope protein. Members of the family Corona viridae cause a broad spectrum of animal and human diseases. Uniquely, replication of the RNA genome proceeds through the generation of a nested set of viral mRNA molecules. Until 2003, coronaviruses attracted little interest beyond causing mild upper respiratory tract infections. This changed dramatically in 2003 …

Antibiotics Mediated as Antibiotics Growth Promotants (AGP)
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance in human infections has emerged as a serious public health concern. Some of the resistance problem may be traced back to the transmission of resistant bacteria from animals to humans, as well as the transmission of resistance genes from animal pathogens and commensal bacteria to human infections. Improvements in food cleanliness are among the control methods used to minimise the transmission of zoonotic germs to humans via the …

Knowledge Enhancement on Scrub Typhus Through Planned Teaching: A Study Among UrbanAdults in Puducherry
Abstract: Background: Scrub typhus is a re‑emerging zoonotic infection in India, often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms. Awareness among adults is crucial for early detection and prevention. Objective: To assess baseline knowledge of scrub typhus among adults, evaluate the effectiveness of a planned teaching programme, and examine associations with demographic variables. Methods: A one‑group pre‑test and post‑test design was used. Fifty adults from Muthialpet, Puducherry were selected by convenience sampling. Knowledge …
