Souradip Mallick, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela For transmission of viruses from one host to the next, virions must remain viable(infectious) in the period between release from the transmitting host and uptake by the recipient host. Thus environmental stability like ambient temperature and humidity of viruses determines the potential for fomite transmission and for mid-to-long range […]
PRAGYA SANTRA, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Female deaths caused due to breast cancer (BC) is becoming one of the major parameters for increasing female mortality rate. There are many factors leading to increasing in the BC and tumours. Meta-analysis studies have focused in inverse relationships between vitamin D status and BC occurrence. Minimal level of vitamin […]
