West Nile Virus (WNV) infection represents a major global public health challenge. Even though most of the patients are asymptomatic, some cases progress to critical condition which may be fatal. Diagnosis traditionally relies on serological methods, but their limitations, including cross-reactivity, highlight the need for alternative approaches.

The number of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) cases in communities and hospitals is on the rise worldwide. In this work, a nonlinear deterministic model for the dynamics of MRSA infection in society was developed to visualize the significance of awareness in interventions that could be applied in the prevention of transmission with and without optimal control. Positivity and uniqueness were verified for the proposed corruption model to identify the level of resolution of infection factors in society.

Article Synopsis
  • Tularemia is a zoonotic disease typically found in rodents, with hunters being at increased risk, and the study aimed to assess its prevalence among hunters in Northern Cyprus.
  • 100 hunters from four regions in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus participated, with tests like Tube Agglutination Test (TAT) and ELISA conducted to determine their exposure to the disease.
  • The study found a 17% seroprevalence of tularemia (as indicated by positive ELISA IgG tests) among hunters, suggesting a significant infection rate that warrants further epidemiological research.

Background: RT-PCR is the leading method used in the diagnosis of COVID-19, caused by 2019-nCoV. CT applications also provide a fast and easy diagnosis for detecting pneumonia caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The current study, aimed to compare the lung involvement of vaccinated (two-dose CoronaVac) and unvaccinated patients in the early stage of COVID-19 disease.

Bacterial infections in the health-care sector and social environments have been linked to the Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, a type of bacteria that has remained an international health risk since the 1960s. From mild colonization to a deadly invasive disease with an elevated mortality rate, the illness can present in many different forms. A fractional-order dynamic model of MRSA infection developed using real data for computational and modeling analysis on the north side of Cyprus is presented in this paper.
