Background: Human gut microbiota are microorganisms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. Gut microbiota provide various functions in the gut including protection from invasion of pathogenic microbes, shaping ...
Human Immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a relatively modern disease that has caused extensive morbidity, mortality and suffering worldwide. HIV/AIDS is associated with different enzymes ...
Cinnamic acid containing molecules have been shown to possess unprecedented pharmacological activities against various physiological disorders. Most of the plants containing these compounds have been shown to exhibit ...
Introduction
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) continues to be a global public health concern, even though Antiretroviral drugs (ARV), especially Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) has significantly reduced ...
Background: Antiretroviral treatment (ART) has grown to be one of the most effective
tool in the fight to control HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, due to
the emergence of drug resistant HIV, ART ...
The main malaria agent, Plasmodium falciparum, exhibits a complex life cycle. The parasite initially develops in a poikilothermic mosquito vector before it is subsequently transmitted to a homeothermic human host. As such, ...
Plasmodium falciparum is a unicellular protozoan parasite that causes malaria in humans. The parasite is passed to humans through mosquito bites and migrates to the liver before it infects host erythrocytes. It is at the ...
Background: Patients on antiretroviral (ART) are expected to be at least 95% adherent to their treatment, as this will increase their chances of achieving treatment success (maximum and durable suppression of HIV-1 viral ...
Background: The medicinal value of plants lies in some chemical substances that
produce a definite physiological action in the human body. The secondary metabolites
help the plants to survive hash conditions and could ...
The lack of access to water supply and sanitation (WSS) services in developing countries has caused various waterborne diseases and related millions of deaths. The challenges have compelled various countries to take note ...
Malaria is a disease that claims about half a million lives annually, mainly children. There are 5 Plasmodium species that cause malaria; namely, P. falciparum, P. ovale, P. malariae, P. knowlesi and P. vivax. P. falciparum ...
Objective: The development of HIV drug resistance is a significant challenge in maintaining suppressed viral load in the management of patients. Next generation sequencing (NGS) is a more sensitive approach to determine ...
Adsorption of Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB G-250) from aqueous solutions on the adsorbents chitosan, alpha cellulose, banana rachis fibre, banana rachis fibre/chitosan composite, alpha cellulose/chitosan composite, and ...
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted virus known to be a causative agent of cervical cancer (CC), one of the most frequent cancers in women worldwide. HPV is a double stranded DNA virus ...
Background: Amebiasis is a common parasitic disease that contributes to the burden of diarrhea in areas with poor sanitation and inadequate water supply worldwide. Water quality, therefore, plays an essential role in the ...
