The Symptom and Genetic Diversity of Cassava Brown Streak Viruses Infecting Cassava in East Africa by I. U. Mohammed, M. M. Abarshi, B. Muli, R. J. Hillocks, M. N. Maruthi

“…Phylogenetic analysis of complete coat protein gene sequences of these isolates together with sequences obtained from 14 other field-collected samples from Kenya and Zanzibar, and reference sequences grouped them into two distinct clusters, representing the two species of cassava brown streak viruses. Put together, these results did not suggest the association of a hypervirulent form of the virus with the current CBSD epidemic in Uganda. …”

Suppression of Aedes aegypti may not affect sympatric Aedes albopictus populations: findings from two years of entomological surveillance in Singapore by Wei Jian Wong, Cheong Huat Tan, Matthew Gregory Verkaik, Lee Ching Ng, Ary Anthony Hoffmann, Chee-Seng Chong

“…However, there is concern that Aedes albopictus, another arbovirus-competent vector, may occupy the niches vacated by Ae. aegypti in areas where these species occur in sympatry. Here we investigate these concerns within the context of a Wolbachia-based Ae. aegypti suppression programme in highly urban Singapore, where general mosquito management is sustained through environmental management. …”

Incidence and Implications of Culture-Positive Corneoscleral Rims in Corneal Transplantation by Meeraalam Z, Alreshidi SO, ALBalawi HB, Alali NM, Hashem F, Kirat OM

“…However, postoperative infections threaten graft survival, particularly microbial keratitis and endophthalmitis.Objective: This study aims to evaluate the incidence of culture-positive corneoscleral rims (CPCR) among transplanted corneas at a tertiary eye hospital and explore its association with death-preservation and preservation-surgery times.Methods: A retrospective analysis of keratoplasty surgeries performed in 2015 was conducted, involving 603 cases meeting the study criteria.Results: The incidence of CPCR was found to be 4.6%, predominantly bacterial (68%), with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) being the most common isolate, followed by fungal (32%) species, notably Candida. However, none of the cases developed subsequent keratitis or endophthalmitis post-transplantation. …”
