Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed faecal samples from 62 dogs and found significant links between diarrhoea and factors such as age, weight, breed, and dietary history, with certain conditions like not eating for three days increasing diarrhoea risk significantly.
- * Total faecal cholesterol emerged as the most effective indicator for diagnosing acute diarrhoea, helping veterinarians assess stool frequency and texture when detailed case histories are not available.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for accurate and efficient diagnostic tools for detecting severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. This study presents a comparison of two diagnostic tests: RT-PCR and antigen detection rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs). This study focused on their performance, variant specificity, and their clinical implications.

However, it is known to be an expensive and laborious approach involving high technical expertise. Considering the reduced adherence to preventive measures postlockdown in Accra, this study presents an alternative method that leverages polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants in the Accra Metropolis postlockdown.
