Complete genome sequence of a Bangladesh-developed live-attenuated lumpy skin disease (LSD) vaccine strain.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle is managed through live-attenuated vaccines. Bangladesh LSD vaccine was developed from LSD virus isolate Bangladesh LSD-29 by passaging 60 times in cell culture. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Bangladesh LSD vaccine strain.

Complete genome sequence of a lumpy skin disease virus isolate from a 2021 outbreak of disease in Bangladesh.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically devasting and vector-borne transboundary disease of cattle caused by lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an outbreak isolate of LSDV from Bangladesh. Bangladesh LSD-29 was detected in skin nodule samples of an LSD-infected bovine in 2021.

Screening depression among university students utilizing GHQ-12 and machine learning.

The escalating incidence of depression has brought attention to the increasing concern regarding the mental well-being of university students in the current academic environment. Given the increasing mental health challenges faced by students, there is a critical need for efficient, scalable, and accurate screening methods. This study aims to address the issue by using the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), a well recognized tool for evaluating psychological discomfort, in combination with machine learning (ML) techniques.

Elemental Characterization of Ambient Particulate Matter for a Globally Distributed Monitoring Network: Methodology and Implications.

Global ground-level measurements of elements in ambient particulate matter (PM) can provide valuable information to understand the distribution of dust and trace elements, assess health impacts, and investigate emission sources. We use X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to characterize the elemental composition of PM samples collected from 27 globally distributed sites in the Surface PARTiculate mAtter Network (SPARTAN) over 2019-2023. Consistent protocols are applied to collect all samples and analyze them at one central laboratory, which facilitates comparison across different sites.
