Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the trend of effect of prior caesarean delivery (CD) on obstetric outcomes; and to investigate the existence of a threshold for order of CD associated with geometrical increase in complications.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 942 parturients who undergone CD between June 2012 and May 2015 in a teaching hospital in Nigeria. The participants were stratified by the order of caesarean deliveries.

- - The study highlights the importance of monitoring bats, as they are key reservoirs for coronaviruses (CoVs), particularly in the context of zoonotic diseases like SARS-CoV, which have potential implications for human health.
- - Researchers sampled 409 bats from various species in Nigeria between 2019 and 2021, finding CoV RNA in 39 bats (about 9.5% of samples), with some samples showing co-infection by different CoV lineages.
- - The findings indicate a rich diversity of coronaviruses among bats in Nigeria, suggesting ongoing evolutionary changes and host switching, thus calling for increased surveillance to understand and track emerging CoVs better.
