Explosive Rise in Viral Infections Through Meat-Sellers

The team of researchers working at the genome centre at molecular based diagnostics and research, Lahore Pakistan, observed an unexpected surge in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) cases from one particular area during the recent week. In an attempt to figure the reason behind the transmission of this life-threatening virus, the researchers visited an abattoir and collected blood samples of meat-processing workers, who had cuts on their hands while slaughtering animals. [...] butchers should be periodically screened against different viral infections because they are in contact with healthy citizens as well as immunocompromised citizens while selling their meat.
