Group A rotavirus (RVA) is recognized as a major cause of severe gastroenteritis in newborn calves and goat kids. We estimated the proportion of ruminants infected with rotavirus and identified the circulating genotypes in cattle and goats in Bangladesh. Between May 2009 and August 2010, fecal sampl...

Group A rotavirus causes a substantial proportion of diarrhoea related deaths worldwide among children under five years. We analyzed rotavirus prevalence and genotypes distribution among patients admitted with diarrhoea at icddr,b hospital in Dhaka during 2012-16. Stool specimens (n = 1110) were col...

BACKGROUND: Globally, real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) is the reference detection technique for SARS-CoV-2, which is expensive, time consuming, and requires trained laboratory personnel. Thus, a cost-effective, rapid antigen test is urgently needed. This study eval...

Several SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) have emerged and spread globally since 2021, including in Bangladesh.1 Omicron is the latest edition, first identified in South Africa in November 2021 and arrived in Bangladesh in December 2021. This variant frequently changed with different sublineages...

Human sapovirus, which causes acute gastroenteritis, is not well studied and poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the contribution of sapovirus in diarrhea, their clinical association, and genotypic diversity. Fecal specimens (n = 871) were randomly selected from diarrheal patients who ...

Abstract Nipah virus (NiV) causes a severe neurological disease in humans. The first NiV outbreak, in Malaysia, involved pig-to-human transmission, that resulted in significant economic losses to the local pig industry. Despite the risk NiV poses to pig-dense regions, no licensed vaccines exist. Thi...
