This study aimed to characterize Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in 2 intensive care units in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. P. aeruginosa isolates from patients' and staff hands and environmental samples were typed using antibiotyping and ERIC-PCR. In Egypt, isolates from suction apparatus tubing and drainage containers (A7) and AV tubing (A8) were linked to those from patients who had these antibiot...

In Egypt, efforts to control highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus in poultry and in humans have failed despite increased biosecurity, quarantine, and vaccination at poultry farms. The ongoing circulation of HP H5N1 avian influenza in Egypt has caused >100 human infections and remains an unresolved threat to veterinary and public health. Here, we describe that the failure of commercially...

Egypt has the highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in the world, it has been reported that 14.7% of Egyptian population is chronically infected with HCV and 90% of them are genotype-4 (El-Zanaty et al, 2011) and (Guerra et al, 2012). Up to now, the standard of care (SOC) treatment of chronic HCV infection consists of (pegylated) interferon-Alpha and oral ribavirin. (Hendy et al, 2011). Th...

Figure 1 Figure 2 Citrus fruits are traditional agricultural products in Egypt. Citrus volkameriana is the best rootstock for growing citrus in Egypt’s desert areas (newly reclaimed land). It is far superior to other rootstocks used in Egypt in its resistance to Citrus tristeza virus as well as its tolerance to drought. Constraints to fruit production are mainly related to tree decline caused b...

The Cecidomyiidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha) fauna of Egypt is poorly known. Investigations in northern Egypt in 2013 revealed the presence of seven species of gall midges on three host plant species: Atriplex halimus L., Arthrocnemum macrostachyum (Moric.) and Suaeda pruniosa Lange (all Chenopodiaceae). Among the gall midges, Baldratia salicorniae  Kieffer and Stefaniella trinacriae De Stefani a...

The Egyptian state was formed prior to the existence of verifiable historical records. Conventional dates for its formation are based on the relative ordering of artefacts. This approach is no longer considered sufficient for cogent historical analysis. Here, we produce an absolute chronology for Early Egypt by combining radiocarbon and archaeological evidence within a Bayesian paradigm. Our da...
