Tuberculosis develops from infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), an acid-fast bacillus. Due to the aerobic nature of the bacillus, it preferentially infects the lungs to cause pulmonary TB. However, it can also spread and infect other body systems, such as the urinary tract and the central nervous system. Shimeles et al discussed determinant factors associated with TB in adult populations in high-burden TB areas (Shimeles et al., 2019)

Dengue is an arboviral infection that occurs in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. The infection is caused by the dengue virus (DENV) that exists in four distinct but closely related virus serotypes (DENV1-4) that show extensive genetic variability (Gubler 1989; Rigau-Perez et al. 1998; WHO 2009)

Cholera, a devastating diarrheal disease that accounts for more than 10% of children’s deaths worldwide, has persistently remained a health threat to world’s population at large. It is endemic in many countries and in Sub-Saharan Africa, prevention has not achieved much because the causative agent, Vibrio cholerae has emerged to be resistant to antibiotics that were previously efficacious towards the bacteria. Previous research has shown that phages may offer an alternative plausible bi...

Foot and mouth disease virus has a wide host range, an ability to infect in small doses, a rapid rate of replication, a high level of viral excretion and multiple modes of transmission, including wind. These features make FMD a difficult and expensive disease to control and eradicate( Knight-Jones and Ruston, 2013). It’s a disease that is much feared by farmers, veterinarians and those associated with livestock production. Countries free of the disease take great precautions to ensure tha...
