Introduction: This study provides a descriptive overview of the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Canada, across sociodemographic characteristics, mental health-related variables and negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Data were obtained from cycles 1 and 2 of the Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health (SCMH), collected in fall 2020 (N = 14 689) and spring 2021 (N = 8032). The prevalence of PTSD was measured using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) Cross-sectional associations were quantified using logistic regression, while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics.

Purpose: Omicron is a variant with the highest number of mutations among all Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) viruses, making whole genome sequencing (WGS) an essential tool for public health surveillance and molecular epidemiology. It is important to note that surveillance data can provide insights into the virus evolution and disease control. This study aims to provide an overview of WGS results for the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an enclosed, double-stranded DNA virus from the Orthopoxvirus genus, which also contains variola, vaccinia, and cowpox. MPXV, which was once confined to West and Central Africa, has recently had a rebound, spreading beyond its original range since 2017. The virus is distinguished by its unique morphology, which includes an oval or brick-shaped structure and a complex lipid and protein makeup.

The bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) technique is a powerful tool for visualizing protein-protein interactions in vivo. It involves genetically fused nonfluorescent fragments of green fluorescent protein (GFP) or its variants to the target proteins of interest. When these proteins interact, the GFP fragments come together, resulting in the reconstitution of a functional fluorescent protein complex that can be observed using fluorescence microscopy.

Rabies is a zoonotic infectious disease of global distribution that impacts human and animal health. In rural Latin America, rabies negatively impacts food security and the economy due to losses in livestock production. The common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, is the main reservoir and transmitter of rabies virus (RABV) to domestic animals in Latin America.
