Fish-associated < em > Streptococcus agalactiae < /em > ST283: first human cases reported from Malaysia
J Med Microbiol. 2023 Jun;72(6). doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.001729.ABSTRACTIn South East Asia, Streptococcus agalactiae ST283 causes sepsis in healthy adults. Raw freshwater fish consumption is the only known risk factor. These two case reports are the first from Malaysia. Although they cluster with Singapore ST283, the epidemiology is complicated by the flow of people and fish across borders.PMID:37389575 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001729

Sustainability reporting and corporate financial performance of IPOs: witnessing emerging market
The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of sustainability reporting (SR) quality on the corporate financial performance (CFP) of initial public offering (IPO) in Malaysia. This research applies the OLS and WLS regressions through content analysis of annual reports. The data was collected from Datastream, where 131 IPOs listed companies on Bursa Malaysia between 2007 and 2017. The findings indicate a positive and negative association between SR and its components with CFP. It is found that there is a negative and significant association between the SR characteristics of employees and products with CFP. Howe...

Poverty related diseases amongst Malaysia's low-income community: a review
Trop Biomed. 2023 Mar 1;40(1):65-75. doi: 10.47665/tb.40.1.013.ABSTRACTPoverty, as proven by several studies, is a driving force behind poor health and hygiene practices. This review attempts to outline common communicable and non-communicable diseases that disproportionately affect Malaysia's 2.91 million low-income households. The current study also looks into the government's housing and healthcare programmes for this demographic to improve their health and well-being. The initial examination yielded incredibly little research on this marginalised community, with event reporting typically generalised to the Malaysian co...

Gastrointestinal Parasites in Asian and African Elephants: A Systematic Review
Trop Biomed. 2023 Mar 1;40(1):55-64. doi: 10.47665/tb.40.1.012.ABSTRACTGastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) in elephants have been reported in several studies over the last decades. Nonetheless, comprehensive data on clinicopathology of elephant GIPs, parasite burden threshold value, and the effectiveness of conventional anthelmintic drugs are still lacking. Herein, we have systematically reviewed the available knowledge on elephant GIPs identified among different parts of the world based on their prevalence, epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and control. Two electronic databases were searched for publications th...

Plasmodium knowlesi circumsporozoite protein: genetic characterisation and predicted antigenicity of the central repeat region
This study aims to characterise the CSP repeat motifs of P. knowlesi isolates in Peninsular Malaysia. CSP repeat motifs of 64 P. knowlesi isolates were identified using Rapid Automatic Detection and Alignment of Repeats (RADAR). Antigenicity of the repeat motifs and linear B cell epitopes were predicted using VaxiJen 2.0, BepiPred-2.0 and BCPred, respectively. A total of 35 dominant repeat motifs were identified. The repeat motif "AGQPQAQGDGANAGQPQAQGDGAN" has the highest repeat frequency (n=15) and antigenicity index of 1.7986. All the repeat regions were predicted as B cell epitopes. In silico approaches revealed that al...

Experimental infection of tick cells with Nipah virus
Trop Biomed. 2023 Mar 1;40(1):29-36. doi: 10.47665/tb.40.1.009.ABSTRACTNipah virus (NiV), a highly pathogenic henipavirus of the family Paramyxoviridae, which causes fatal encephalitis in 40-70% of affected patients, was first reported in Malaysia over 20 years ago. Pteropid bats are the natural hosts of henipaviruses, and ticks have been proposed as a possible link between bats and mammalian hosts. To investigate this hypothesis, infection of the tick cell line IDE8 with NiV was examined. Presence of viral RNA and antigen in the NiV-infected tick cells was confirmed. Infectious virions were recovered from NiV-infected tic...
