Genetic Characterization of Clade B Measles Viruses Isolated in Tunisia and Libya 2002-2009 and a proposed New Subtype within the B3 Genotype.
Wed, 18 Aug 2010 23:00:00 +0100 | Virus Research
Authors: Haddad-Boubaker S, Rezq M, Smeo MN, Yahia AB, Abudher A, Slim A, Ghorbel MB, Ahmed H, Rota P, Triki H Genetic characterization was conducted on 18 wild-type measles viruses, detected in Tunisia and Libya from 2002 to 2009. Sequence analysis of the 456 nucleotides in the carboxy terminus of the nucleoprotein (N) gene and the entire hemagglutinin (H) gene indicated that all isolates were in genotype B3. All of the viruses from 2002 to 2007 and some of the isolates from 2009 belonged to subtype B3.1. In contrast, 7 of the viruses isolated during 2008 and 2009 were quite divergent from all B3 isolates. The nucleotide sequences of the N gene of these 7 isolates differed from the sequences of the Ibadan and New York reference strain by an average of 3.1% and 4.4%, respectively. The ...

Brucellosis - regionally emerging zoonotic disease?
Sat, 14 Aug 2010 23:00:00 +0100 | Croatian Medical Journal
Conclusions. Wars in the Middle East, insufficient preventive measures, the lack of adequate control programs in some countries, as well as uncontrolled animal transportation through "open" borders increased the risk that brucellosis will spread in some regions. New seroprevalence data are needed urgently to evaluate the current situation and for continuous monitoring of necessary control programs.

Screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among health care workers in the African Oncology Institute, Sabrata—Libya
Sat, 31 Jul 2010 23:00:00 +0100 | American Journal of Infection Control
To the Editor: Carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among health care workers (HCWs) is a well-recognized phenomenon. The aim of the present study was to determine the current prevalence of MRSA among HCWs working in intensive care unit (ICU) and operating theaters (OTs) in African Oncology Institute in Sabrata, Libya, using real-time polymerase chain reaction.

The reliance on unclaimed cadavers for anatomical teaching by medical schools in Africa
Fri, 11 Jun 2010 23:00:00 +0100 | Anatomical Sciences Education
The study of gross Anatomy through the use of cadaveric dissections in medical schools is an essential part of the comprehensive learning of human Anatomy, and unsurprisingly, 90% of the surveyed medical schools in Africa used cadaveric dissections. Donated cadavers now make up 80% of the total cadavers in North American medical schools and all the cadavers used for dissection in the United Kingdom are donated. Because the sources of cadavers used in Africa are not clearly known, a questionnaire to gather information on cadavers used at medical schools was designed from the relevant literature and was sent by electronic mail to 123 Anatomy lecturers in 23 African countries (48 medical schools). Fourteen lecturers from 14 medical schools in ten countries responded to the questionnaires. The...
