This study detected B. pertussis gene from sputum of respiratory infected patients. Eighty-nine (89) sputum samples were collected and stained using gram staining technique. Gram negative cocco-bacilli were seen in 19 of the samples which were then subjected to DNA extraction by phenol chloroform method. 16SrRNA primer specific for B. pertussis was used for the amplification of B. pertussis.

A sample of 165 voluntary women was constituted
Serum Proteogenomic Investigation of C-X-C Motif Chemokine 10 (CXCL10) and Zika Virus RNA in Pregnant Women of Nigerian Tertiary Teaching Hospitals
Hafeez Aderinsayo Adekola*, David Ajiboye Ojo, Saka Adebayo Balogun, Morenike Atinuke Dipeolu
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a type of mosquito-borne virus belonging to the Flavivirus genus. It has been associated with microcephaly and neurological disorders in newborns. During Zika virus infection in pregnant women, the chemoattractant C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) shows a significant increase, up to 200-fold and has been linked to the pathogenesis of ZIKV. This study investigated
Factors Associated with Joint Decision on Contraceptive Use Among Currently Married Women In Nigeria: Evidence From Repeated Cross-Sectional, Nationally Representative Data
