: Yellow fever (YF) outbreaks continue to affect populations that are not reached by routine immunization services, such as workers at a high risk of occupational exposure to YF. In the Central African Republic (CAR), YF cases were detected in districts characterized by the presence of workers in forest areas. We developed an innovative approach based on a local partnership with private companies of the extractive industry to administer YF vaccine to workers in remote areas during the response to an outbreak.

Traditional marker-based photogrammetry systems often require the attachment and removal of a sticker for each measured point, involving labor-intensive manual steps. This paper presents an innovative approach that utilizes raised, cross-shaped markers, referred to as 'molded markers', directly embedded into composite pieces. In this study, these markers, commonly employed in other industrial processes, serve as fiducial markers for accurate photogrammetry.

Viral co-infections pose significant challenges, causing substantial economic losses worldwide in the poultry industry. Among these, avian lLeukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) and chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) are particularly concerning, as they frequently lead to co-infections in chickens, further compromising their immune defenses, increasing susceptibility to secondary infections and diminishing vaccine efficacy. While our previous studies have examined the pathogenicity and immunosuppressive effects of these co-infections in vitro and in vivo, the key genes and molecular pathways involved remain largely unexplored.

Although the etiological relevance of the detection of microsporidia in human stool samples remains uncertain, the immunological status of patients has been posited as an important determinant of potential clinical impact of these parasites. To further assess the interplay between the epidemiology of microsporidia and immunological markers, we conducted a study utilizing real-time PCR targeting , , , and , combined in a single fluorescence channel. The study involved a cohort of 595 clinically and immunologically well-characterized Ghanaian HIV patients, alongside 82 HIV-negative control individuals from Ghana.

Metastasis is a well-known factor worsening colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis, but mortality mechanisms in non-metastatic patients with poor outcomes are less understood. TCF12 is a transcription factor that can be physically associated with the long non-coding RNA MALAT1, creating an alliance with correlated expression levels in CRC patients. This TCF12-MALAT1 alliance is linked to poorer prognosis independently of age and metastasis.
