Human rhinovirus C (HRV-C) is a significant contributor to respiratory tract infections in children and is implicated in asthma exacerbations across all age groups. Despite its impact, there is currently no licensed vaccine available for HRV-C. Here, we present a novel approach to address this gap by employing immunoinformatics techniques for the design of a multi-epitope-based vaccine against HRV-C.

Article Synopsis
  • Pakistan has a diverse rodent population, but until now, there has been no research on the presence of Haemogregarines in these animals, highlighting a gap in understanding their epidemiology and genetic variation in this region.
  • The study collected blood samples from four rodent species in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, finding a 2.86% prevalence of Haemogregarines, with sequencing confirming the presence of Hepatozoon spp. and Lankesterella spp.
  • Results showed that Rattus rattus had the highest infection rates, especially among female rodents, and infected individuals exhibited abnormal blood cell counts and oxidative stress indicators compared to uninfected rodents.
