Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) infection has been considered a serious disease in farmed grouper. Particularly, the persistent infection model conducts the grouper into a carrier state that continues to spread the virus through spawning. This particular model makes disease control more difficult in the aquaculture industry. In the present study, we used RNA-Seq, a high-throughput method based on next-generation sequencing, to profile the expression of genes during the period of NNV persistent infection. We evaluated the transcriptomic changes in the brain tissue of grouper. The inactivated-NNV vaccine was used as a comparison group. Based on the differentially expressed genes, highly immune cell active signaling and surface receptor expression were triggered during persistent infection. The interferon-induced response was also highly expressed in the infected brain tissue. However, critical negative regulatory factors of T-cells, such as PD-L1 and LAG3, were up-regulated. The present transcriptome study revealed a comprehensive view of the state of NNV persistent infection and provided insights into the state of impaired NNV clearance in the grouper.

Background: The identification of helminth parasites in Schizothorax spp. from Kashmir, including Schyzocotyle acheilognathi, Pomphorhynchus kashmirensis, and Adenoscolex oreini, is hindered by morphological limitations and high intraspecific variation. While previous studies have relied on morphological diagnosis, a comprehensive molecular characterization is lacking.

Background: Urogenital schistosomiasis is a persistent public health problem in many rural areas of Yemen. Since 2014, epidemiology has not been assessed in Amran governorate, north of Yemen, where is known to be highly endemic. Therefore, this study determined the prevalence and risk factors associated with infection among schoolchildren in Kharif district of the governorate.

Background: Although multifaceted control intervention actions (bundles) are highly effective in reducing the risk of device-related healthcare-associated infections (d-HAIs), no studies have explored their impact on the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) or the extent of risk reduction achievable through the bundle implementation.

Methods: Seven hundred ninety-eight prevalent KTRs admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) requiring invasive devices were included: 449 patients from the bundle preimplementation period and 349 from the postimplementation period. The primary outcome was mortality within 90 d of ICU admission.
