One-Step Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction for Ebola and Marburg Viruses
Ebola virus and Marburg virus are causative agents of severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates in humans and nonhuman primates. In 2014, there was a major Ebola outbreak in various countries in West Africa, including Guinea, Liberia, Republic of Sierra Leone, and Nigeria. Ebola and Marburg viruses are clinically difficult to diagnose and to distinguish from other African epidemic diseases. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop a method for rapid identification of the virus in order to prevent the spread of infection. (Source: Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives)

Study on Seroprevalence and Leptospiral Antibody Distribution among High-risk Planters in Malaysia
Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal bacterial infection recognised as a zoonotic spirochetal disease. The disease is also considered as a re-emerging global public health issue of worldwide importance, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. The exact number of human cases in the world is not precisely known because of the lack of surveillance worldwide [1]. Recent data have shown that Malaysia is an endemic country for leptospirosis, with an increased number of reported cases and outbreaks with a significant number of deaths over the past decade [2, 3].
