An observation: Could the spread of Adenovirus in South Asia pose a hazard to global public health?

Abstract

BackgroundOne of the most pressing issues in healthcare today is the prevention of Adenovirus (AdV) infections. Children and the elderly, both of whom have weaker immune systems than healthy adults, are more vulnerable to infection.DiscussionIndia has been the epicenter of a recent AdV epidemic in the South Asian area. Most of the nations, bordering India are still developing and have very low per capita incomes, yet their citizens often cross into India for trade, medical care, and vacation.ConclusionWe are concerned that an epidemic of the AdV might occur in the Indian subcontinent, spread to other nations, and eventually affect the whole world if effective preventative and diagnostic measures are not taken.

The pressing need for study on the effects of Mpox on the progression of vascular inflammation: A well‐timed call

“…Mpox (previously known as monkeypox) is a contagious viral disease caused by the Mpox virus (MPXV), belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus, Poxviridae family, and Chordopoxvirinae subfamily. 1 , 2 According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were more than 57,995 confirmed cases in 100 countries and territories by September 13, 2022. 3 Inflammatory mediators such as interleukin (IL)−1, IL‐6, C‐C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), CXC motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), CXCL10, tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) and so forth through inflammatory signaling pathways such as nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) are generated during infection and are responsible for causing inflammation and boosting the immune system, according to the literature.…”
