Issues to be considered when implementing the standardized tuberculosis contact investigation in a setting with routine tuberculosis contact invitation: an experience from the Kisumu County, Western Kenya, 2014-2015

INTRODUCTION: Persons in close proximity with Tuberculosis (TB) patients are at risk of TB infection.Contact investigation (CI) has not been scaled up to full implementation by the National Tuberculosis Program in Kenya.As redken shades eq 07m driftwood part of a TB household CI study, we documented key concerns that the TB program in Kenya need to

Integrating Open Access Geospatial Data to Map the Habitat Suitability of the Declining Corn Bunting (Miliaria calandra)

The efficacy of integrating open access geospatial data to produce habitat suitability maps for the corn bunting (Miliaria calandra) was investigated.Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and Corine (Coordination of Information on the Environment) land cover data for the year 2000 (CLC2000) were proce

Probing the HIV-1 genomic RNA trafficking pathway and dimerization by genetic recombination and single virion analyses.

Once transcribed, the nascent full-length RNA of HIV-1 must travel to the appropriate host cell sites to be translated or to find a partner RNA for copackaging to form newly generated viruses.In this report, we sought to delineate the location where HIV-1 RNA initiates dimerization and the influence of the RNA transport pathway used by the virus on
