Testing Air Quality of Primary Health Care Centers in Qatar
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: Poor indoor air quality results in significant adverse effects on human health. In particular, the hospital atmospheric environment requires high air quality to protect patients and health care workers against ...
Antigenica and Genetic Characterization of Identified Rotavirus Strains in Qatar In Response to Rotarix Vaccine Usage
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Aim: To identify genetic and antigenic variation in RV in response to vaccine usage. Methods: A total of 231 RV-positive fecal samples were collected from children suffering from AGE during three-year study period between ...
Retail Chicken Carcasses as a Reservoir of Antimicrobial- Resistant Escherichia coli
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: The dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) bacteria has been associated with the inappropriate use of antibiotics in both humans and animals and with the consumption of food contaminated with resistant ...
Influenza, RSV, and Other Respiratory Infections among Children in Qatar
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) lead to high rates of mortality and morbidity among children. However, studies on the etiology of respiratory infections among children in Qatar and surrounding countries are ...
Within-host diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients with variable disease severities
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: The ongoing pandemic of SARS-COV-2 has already infected more than eight million people worldwide. The majority of COVID-19 patients are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Yet, about 15% of the cases ...
Host genetic variants potentially associated with SARS-CoV-2: A multi-population analysis
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: Clinical outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) showed enormous inter-individual and inter-population differences, possibly ...
Nanopore Sequencing SARS-CoV-2 genome in Qatar
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: The current pandemic, COVID-19, is cause by an RNA coronavirus that was recently identified as SARS-CoV-2. RNA viruses tend to have a high mutation rate; the rate is around a million times greater than that of ...
Evaluation of reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in clinical, environmental and animal samples.
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: First described 20 years ago by Notomi et al., the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay is robust, rapid and straightforward, yet retains high sensitivity and specificity. These features have ...
Virtual screening of anti-viral drugs and natural compounds for potential inhibition of the novel SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: The spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 harbors the receptor-binding domain (RBD) that mediates the virus's entry to host cells. The aim of this study was to identify novel inhibitors that target the RBD domain of ...
