Article Synopsis
- Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) is a virus affecting cattle, leading to skin lesions mainly on the udder and mouth, and little research has been done on it in Iraq.
- A study in Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq, examined 264 cattle, finding that 79.9% (211 cows and calves) with lesions tested positive for BPSV using PCR.
- The BPSV strains identified in Iraq were genetically similar to those found in the USA, suggesting the need for further research on the virus's evolution and spread in the area.
Clinico-epidemiological presentations and management of Nipah virus infection during the outbreak in Kozhikode district, Kerala state, India 2023.

India experienced its sixth Nipah virus (NiV) outbreak in September 2023 in the Kozhikode district of Kerala state. The NiV is primarily transmitted by spillover events from infected bats followed by human-to-human transmission. The clinical specimens were screened using real-time RT-PCR, and positive specimens were further characterized using next-generation sequencing.

Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Virology, Bangalore unit, Bangalore India.
Background: In this study, we carried out an investigation of Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) suspected human cases reported in Karnataka state, India from December 2018 to June 2019.
Methods: The clinical samples of KFD suspected cases ( = 1955) from 14 districts of Karnataka were tested for KFD using real-time RT-PCR and IgM ELISA. Further, the KFD-negative samples were tested for IgM antibodies against dengue and chikungunya viruses.
Etiological Profile and Clinico Epidemiological Patterns of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome in Tamil Nadu, India.

Department of Translational Sciences, Institute for Healthcare Education and Translational Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
Introduction: Establishing the etiological cause of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is challenging due to the distinct distribution of various etiological agents. This study aims to determine the etiological profiles of both viruses and bacteria and their associated clinico-epidemiological features among the AES suspected cases in Tamil Nadu, India.
Methods: Samples of 5136 suspected AES cases from January 2016 to December 2020 (5 years) were subjected to the detection of etiological agents for AES through serological and molecular diagnosis methods.
A clinico-epidemiological profile, coinfections and outcome of patients with Influenza Like Illnesses (ILI) presenting to the emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients presented to the emergency department (ED) with features of Influenza-like illnesses (ILI) and with other atypical presentations. This study was done to determine the etiology, co-infections, and clinical profile of patients with ILI.
Methods: This prospective observational study included all patients presenting to the ED with fever and/or cough, breathing difficulty, sore throat, myalgia, gastrointestinal complaints (abdominal pain/vomiting/diarrhea), loss of taste and altered sensorium or asymptomatic patients who resided in or travelled from containment zones, or those who had contact with COVID-19 positive patients during the first wave of the pandemic between April and August 2020.
