This review aims to highlight the current issue of novel Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) to evaluate the present knowledge about human causalities its economic effects, and treatment. In this regard, a detailed layout of viral infections is discussed in the light of literature. The results of this review stated that the novel Coronavirus-19 infected humans with severe loss in days. This pandemic caused world recession by significantly hitting the world economy. Due to lacking any specific vaccine or antiviral therapies against this virus, it has affected 213 countries of the world. Currently, the severity of this viral disease is observed in the US and Europe. While in developing countries, a higher infection rate was reported in Iran, India, and Pakistan. This virus infected 16 million people around the world with 645,627 deaths. The quick discovery of drug treatment has become a global challenge for the response of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Poliovirus vaccines were previously produced in kidney cell cultures from cytomegalovirus infected rhesus and African green monkeys. Viruses can undergo an immune evasion process termed stealth adaptation. It involves the deletion or mutation of the genes coding for the relatively few virus components that are normally targeted by the cellular immune system. As earlier reported, additional genetic sequences of cellular and bacterial origin can be incorporated into replicating stealth adapted viruses. This article confirms the incorporation of rhesus monkey genome-derived genetic sequences in certain stealth adapted viruses cultured from patients with the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The virus-incorporated cellular-derived sequences differ slightly from the originating cellular sequences reflecting mutational changes and genetic instability. Ongoing mutations are also apparent in the minor differences in the genetic sequences seen in similar PCR products generated from the cultures of the two different CFS patients. Mutated human cellular genome-derived genetic sequences were also detected in the culture from one of the CFS patients. This is consistent with homologous recombination between human sequences and the virus-incorporated monkey cellular sequences. The transmission of genetically unstable, replicating monkey genomic sequences to humans and the potential of further transmission of mutated human genetic sequences between humans, warrants the attention of Public Health officials. The findings also question the continuing use of cultured animal cells to generate virus vaccines for human use.","PeriodicalId":406162,"journal":{"name":"Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133879370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predictions on chosen additional coronaviruses precisely conformed to conclusions or speculations by other researchers. The novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is rapidly spreading with a rising death toll and transmission rate reported in high income countries rather than in low income countries.

Here, we recommend blockchain Abstract COVID-19 was identified as the causative virus of pneumonia based on unknown etiology. COVID-19 has multiple characteristics distinct from other infectious diseases, including high infectivity during incubation, time delay between real dynamics and daily numbers of confirmed cases, and the intervention effects of quarantine and control measures.

The performance of a research uses only kit, Ultrabio HIV DNA quantification kit, was compared to a commonly used laboratory qPCR method targeting the gag region (GAG PCR). The limit of detection (LOD) and precision was evaluated with serially diluted 8E5/LAV DNA. LOD of Ultrabio Kit and GAG PCR was determined to be 4 and 25 copies/reaction, respectively. The Ultrabio Kit showed less variation when HIV-1 DNA concentration was lower than 20 copies/reaction. Twenty-six HIV-1 infected patients’ PBMCs samples were quantified by both methods and the Ultrabio kit showed higher sensitivity. GAG PCR was unable to detect 2 of the samples while Ultrabio Kit was able to detect all. Both 2 samples had undetectable viral load. The quantified HIV DNA copies/million cells of the 24 detected samples by both methods showed good correlation, r=0.91.

Methods: The reports concerning the CRE bacteremia in hospitalized adult patients among the published literature before May 2019 were identified by a systematic search of Pubmed, EMBASE and Cochrane. Summary odds ratios(OR) were calculated using random effects models, and study quality was assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: Totally 573 literatures were retrieved out, and we identified 42 studies to calculate the statistically significant pooled odds ratio, of which 22 papers describing factors for CRE-BSIs morbidity and 26 papers for mortality. Previous antibiotic exposure (OR 7.71; 95% CI 2.82-21.08; I-squared=87%), following by mechanical ventilation (OR 4.54; 95% CI 2.55, 8.08; I-squared=78%) and admission to ICU (OR 4.17; 95% CI 3.02-5.76; I-squared=72%) device generated the highest pooled estimate for CRE-BSIs morbidity. Underlying diseases or conditions lead to an unfortunate ending for patients with CRE-BSI. Appropriate empirical therapy contributed to reduce mortality for CRE-BSIs, and the use of ceftazidime-avibactam, lower Pitt bacteremia score or APACHE2 score were also relevant to control mortality. Conclusion: The worldwide morbidity and mortality for CRE-BSIs are high. We should standardize medical practices, optimize the therapeutic approach, timely monitor relevant indicators to control hospital outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":406162,"journal":{"name":"Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease","volume":"669 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123382591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
