“…The study conducted on the Bacterial Profile Associated with Dental Caries E. coli was isolated at 7.1% among studied participants. [18] This is a proof that its presence in the oral cavity of pregnant women could lead to dental health conditions. Acinetobacter is non-pathogenic to healthy individuals but it can be harmful in immunosuppression and pregnancy included in the study.…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association with the oral microbial community derangement and dental disorders during pregnant. Materials and Methods : A total of 60 pregnant women were selected, of the 60 women, 30 pregnant women had dental disorders, and the remaining 30 did not have dental disorders (control group). The oral swab samples were collected from the women during a routine clinic visit. Samples were transported to INES Ruhengeri Clinical Microbiology Laboratory for microbial identification analysis. Chi-square test (x2) was used to test association with oral microbial community imbalance and dental disorders. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22. Results Yeast was the most isolated microorganism among both groups of women and stood at 100% and 80%, respectively. The oral microbial community derangement was statistically significant (x2 =52.93, P < 0.00001) to contribute to dental disorders among pregnant women. For single microorganism derangement, Staphylococcus aureus (x2 = 5, P = 0.025347), Enterobacter spp. (x2 =7.4, P = 0.006522), and Staphylococcus spp. (x2 = 30, P < 0.00001) were statistically significant to contribute to dental disorders. Conclusions: Pregnancy leads to oral microbiota dysbiosis which is a risk factor for dental disorders among pregnant women. Women should seek dental consultation during pregnancy for early detection and management of dental disorders.

Background This review documents the hard tick species that have been reported in Nigeria, their distribution, pathogens transmitted and disease they cause in Nigeria; the literature review considered studies that were conducted between 2000 and 2021. Main body The hard tick (Ixodidae) species widely present in the country are those of the genera; Amblyomma, Rhipicephalus/Boophilus, Hyalomma, Ixodes, Dermacentor and Haemaphysalis among which, Amblyomma sp, Hyalomma sp and Rhipicephalus sp. were most widely reported. Ticks cause serious economic losses to the livestock industry via their negative impact on animal health in general and possible transmission of zoonotic pathogens by some species. Ticks’ distribution is favoured by factors which include uncontrolled cross-border movement of animals, lack of strict quarantine measures, extensive animal grazing and suitable climatic condition. Tick-borne diseases commonly reported included Babesiosis, Anaplasmosis, Theileriosis and Ehrlichiosis, while diseases such as Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever and Africa tick bite fever are under-reported. Also, there is paucity of information on the economic impact of these diseases. Measures that have been implemented in the control of ticks included the use of acaricides and to some extent vaccines. Conclusions Ticks and tick-borne diseases constitute serious economic important and studies to fully ascertain these at the national level is recommended. Also, there is need for identification of other species of ticks and under-reported tick-borne diseases to develop more integrated control measures.
