Klebsiella pneumoniae is a rapidly evolving pathogen with a diverse pangenome whose mobilome and resistome remain elusive. Here, we aimed to delineate the pangenome of 198 isolates from Tanzanian regions. Raw Illumina reads ...

Background Semi-field experiments are an efficient way of assessing the impacts of potential new vector control tools (VCTs) before field trials. However, their design is critically important to ensure their results are ...

We report the whole-genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus strain MD04, isolated from the foot ulcer of a diabetic patient in rural southwestern Uganda. The assembled genome is 2,789,538 base pairs in length, with a GC ...

Rickettsia and Anaplasma are Gram-negative, nonmotile, obligate intracellular bacteria in the order Rickettsiales. While various studies have been conducted on these threatening pathogens in humans and domestic animals, ...

Hospital-acquired infections caused by multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are steadily increasing worldwide. Here, we report complete genome sequences of colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates from rectal swab ...

Pediatric meningitis is a global health problem, with insufficiently known pathogens and antibiotic resistance (AMR) especially in low-resource settings. Here, we sought to uncover the virulence and AMR of pathogens ...

Background: Animal waste management in the peri-urban and urban settings in the developing countries is hampered by the lack of proper handling of such wastes. The current methods of animal waste handling are based on ...

Introduction: The study explored the effect of management system on the haematological profiles of African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) as compared to the natural Standard procedures were observed in determination ...

Rodents play an important role in the trans- mission of zoonotic diseases. This study investigated the prevalence of Leptospira spp. and Bartonella spp. in Mas- tomys natalensis and its ectoparasites (fleas and mites) ...

Leptospirosis, also known as Weil’s disease, is a febrile tropical disease of humans and diverse animals. The maintenance hosts of the infectious pathogen, Leptospira spp., are primarily rodents, while other warm-blooded ...
