Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging zoonotic virus causing outbreaks of encephalitis and respiratory illnesses in humans, with high mortality. NiV is considered endemic in Bangladesh and Southeast Asia. There are no licensed vaccines against NiV. This study aimed at predicting a dual-antigen multi-epitope subunit chimeric vaccine against surface-glyco...

Invasive candidiasis is an emerging fungal infection and a leading cause of morbidity in health care facilities. Despite advances in antifungal therapy, increased antifungal drug resistance in Candida albicans has enhanced patient fatality. The most common method for Candida albicans diagnosing is blood culture, which has low sensitivity. Therefore...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes a life-threatening disease known as tuberculosis (TB). In 2021, tuberculosis was the second cause of death after COVID-19 among infectious diseases. Latent life cycle and development of multidrug resistance in one hand and lack of an effective vaccine in another hand have made TB a global health issue. Here, a mult...

Diagnosis and treatment of active tuberculosis (ATB) as well as latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) are required for effective tuberculosis (TB) control, especially in TB endemic area. The usefulness of conventional tests to distinguish between ATB and LTBI has remained challenging. The present study was aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of the ...

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has caused a high mortality rate since its emergence in 2012 in the Middle East. Currently, no effective drug or vaccine is available for MERS-CoV. Supportive care and prevention are the only ways to manage infection. In this study, we identified an epitope-based vaccine that could be an optim...

The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a crucial regulator for the renin-angiotensin system. ACE2 converts the Angiotensin (Ang) II peptide into Ang 1–7 and thus promotes various anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects. In this study, we computationally designed several Ang II mutants to find a strong binding seque...
