Article Synopsis
  • Rotavirus, a segmented dsRNA virus, has its VP1 gene encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is targeted for a potential multiepitope vaccine using immunoinformatic methods.
  • The study analyzed 100 nucleotide sequences from various global strains to create a consensus sequence, identifying 27 highly immunogenic and promising T-cell and B-cell epitopes for the vaccine.
  • Results show strong binding interactions and immunogenic responses for the multiepitope vaccine, indicating its potential effectiveness in reducing rotavirus infections globally.

Introduction: There are a number of well-established risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS). Other factors, however, showed conflicting or inconsistent results. Here, we examine some factors that are unique to or more practiced in Saudi Arabia (SA) and the Arab region such as waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS), face veiling, raw milk (RM) and camel milk (CM) consumption, and tuberculosis (TB) infection in addition to other traditional factors.
