November 2024
Background: The manufacturing sector in Malaysia has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is further exacerbated by Long COVID-19 symptoms among the manufacturing workers, which are proven to influence work performance and quality of life. Of note, there is currently a lack of knowledge regarding the burden of Long COVID-19 in the Malaysian manufacturing sector.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyse surveillance data from 2015 to 2023 to examine the epidemiological characteristics of rabies in Malaysia. Data from multiple sources were used, and descriptive statistics, incidence rates, and reproductive numbers were calculated.
FRDs pose a serious challenge in countries where dog-bite-related rabies is endemic. Understanding the size and core demographic characteristics of FRD populations is essential for the planning and implementation of effective dog-population and canine-rabies-control programmes. The photographic sight-resight method was used to estimate the FRD population and evaluate its demographic characteristics in Herat city.

- Contagious ecthyma, or Orf, is a significant zoonotic disease impacting ruminants, posing economic challenges due to its effects on animal health and trade.
- A study infected lamb testicle cells with a scab sample from an infected goat, confirming the Orf virus presence through PCR and sequencing its genome, which consists of 132,124 bp.
- The analysis found that the Malaysian ORFV strain UPM/HSN-20 shares 97.3-99.0% similarity with other strains, particularly those from China, providing insights into genetic diversity and potential control strategies for the virus.
Edible bird's nest (EBN) is one of the natural products believed to pose health-enhancing properties. To provide a better insight into the protective role of EBN from a toxicological perspective, acetaminophen (APAP) as a common hepatotoxicant is chosen. This study focuses on the regenerative response of prophylaxis EBN extract in APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) of mice model.
