- The research focused on understanding the prevalence of caprine pasteurellosis in pneumonia-affected goats, aiming to isolate and identify the bacteria responsible.
- Out of 105 samples collected, 51 (about 48.57%) tested positive for pasteurellosis, with a significant number being nasal swabs (47.87%) and lung tissues (54.55%).
- The study identified key bacterial strains responsible for the infection and highlighted concerning levels of antibiotic resistance, suggesting careful selection of treatments for infected goats.
Avian influenza virus subtype H9N2 is endemic in Bangladesh's poultry population. The subtype affects poultry production and poses a potential zoonotic risk. Insufficient understanding of how the poultry trading network shapes the dissemination of avian influenza viruses has hindered the design of targeted interventions to reduce their spread.

- - The COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, spreading rapidly from China and resulting in millions of deaths, prompting governments worldwide to implement various response measures to curb the virus.
- - The paper analyzes the measures adopted in Bangladesh up to June 2020, such as screening at borders, flight suspensions, and implementing a national public holiday, while also identifying significant gaps in their effectiveness.
- - Key issues included shortages of medical supplies, limited public awareness, and poor coordination among agencies, suggesting that improved risk management and better communication could have enhanced the country’s response to the pandemic.
