Wastewater surveillance for Sars-CoV-2 during a mass sporting event in the City of Cape Town, Western Cape
Background Wastewater surveillance has become an important public health tool with numerous research studies indicating its potential for monitoring coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks. The aim of this study was to apply wastewater surveillance as an indicator for COVID-19 to monitor the impact of a mass sporting event in the City of Cape Town. The study compared the same event over 2 years (2022 and 2023). Methods Weekly grab wastewate…
Molecular epidemiology of Sars-CoV-2 in Northern South Africa
Introduction: Wastewater-based genomic surveillance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) provides a comprehensive approach to characterize evolutionary patterns and distribution of viral types in a population. This study documents the molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, in Northern South Africa, from January 2021 to May 2022. Methodology: A total of 487 wastewater samples were collected from the influent of eight wast…
Sclerocarya birrea (Marula) Extract Inhibits Hepatic Steatosis in db/db Mice
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of hepatic metabolic perturbations ranging from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Currently, lifestyle modifications to reduce weight gain are considered the most effective means of preventing and treating the disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the therapeutic benefit of Sclerocarya birrea (Marula leaf extract, MLE) on hepatic st…
Spatial and Temporal Trends of Sars-CoV-2 RNA from Wastewater Treatment Plants over 6 Weeks in Cape Town, South Africa
Recent scientific trends have revealed that the collection and analysis of data on the occurrence and fate of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater may serve as an early warning system for COVID-19. In South Africa, the first COVID-19 epicenter emerged in the Western Cape Province. The City of Cape Town, located in the Western Cape Province, has approximately 4 million inhabitants. This study reports on the monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the wastewater of th…
Prevalence of Hypertension and Its Associated Risk Factors in a Rural Black Population of Mthatha Town, South Africa
Background : The occurrence of hypertension has been increasing alarmingly in both low and middle-income countries. Despite acknowledging hypertension as the most common life-threatening risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), a dearth of data is available on the prevalence, awareness, and determinants of hypertension in rural parts of South Africa. The principal aim of the current study is to determine the prevalence and associated risk fa…
