2010-11-05ZeitschriftenartikelA novel adenovirus of Western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) Adenoviruses (AdV) broadly infect vertebrate hosts including a variety of primates. We identified a novel AdV in the feces of captive gorillas by isolation in cell culture, electron microscopy and PCR. From the supernatants ...

2009-11-09ZeitschriftenartikelA novel herpesvirus in the sanctuary chimpanzees on Ngamba Island in Uganda Background: Recent studies in non-human primates have led to the discovery of novel primate herpesviruses. In order to get more information on herpesvirus infections in apes, we studied wild born captive chimpanzees. ...

2010-11-03ZeitschriftenartikelAfrican great apes are naturally infected with polyomaviruses closely related to Merkel cell polyomavirus The oncogenic Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infects humans worldwide, but little is known about the occurrence of viruses related to MCPyV in the closest phylogenetic relatives of humans, great apes. We analyzed samples ...

2011-06-14ZeitschriftenartikelAn insect nidovirus emerging from a primary tropical rainforest. Tropical rainforests show the highest level of terrestrial biodiversity and may be an important contributor to microbial diversity. Exploitation of these ecosystems may foster the emergence of novel pathogens. We report ...

2013-06-12ZeitschriftenartikelAntibody Responses in Humans Infected with Newly Emerging Strains of West Nile Virus in Europe Infection with West Nile Virus (WNV) affects an increasing number of countries worldwide. Although most human infections result in no or mild flu-like symptoms, the elderly and those with a weakened immune system are at ...
-
2002-07-31ZeitschriftenartikelAssociation of two newly recognized herpesviruses with interstitial pneumonia in donkeys (Equus asinus) Over a period of 6 years, antemortem and postmortem examinations were performed on a number of donkeys suffering from respiratory disease. For many cases, initial diagnostic efforts failed to identify an etiology consistent ...

2012-12-26ZeitschriftenartikelBiological and Phylogenetic Characteristics of Yellow Fever Virus Lineages from West Africa The yellow fever virus (YFV), the first proven human-pathogenic virus, although isolated in 1927, is still a major public health problem, especially in West Africa where it causes outbreaks every year. Nevertheless, little ...
-
2010-04-01ZeitschriftenartikelCharacterisation of a human cell-adapted porcine endogenous retrovirus PERV-A/C. Background: Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) pose a potential risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues or organs. A special threat comes from viruses generated by recombination between human-tropic ...
-
2009-02-09ZeitschriftenartikelCharacterisation of porin genes from Mycobacterium fortuitum and their impact on growth Background: Highly pathogenic mycobacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis are characterised by their slow growth and their ability to reside and multiply in the very hostile phagosomal environment and a correlation ...
-
2004-07-05ZeitschriftenartikelCharacterization of a New Simian T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (STLV-1) in a Wild Living Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) from Ivory Coast: Evidence of a New STLV-1 Group? A new strain of simian T-lymphotropic virus type 1 in blood samples from a chimpanzee that lived in the tropical rainforest of Ivory Coast is described. The sequence obtained from the long terminal repeat region of the ...
-
2010-06-24ZeitschriftenartikelChronic norovirus infection after kidney transplantation: molecular evidence for immune-driven viral evolution. Background: Norovirus infection is the most common cause of acute self-limiting gastroenteritis. Only 3 cases of chronic norovirus infection in adult solid organ transplant recipients have been reported thus far. Methods: ...

2015-04-02ZeitschriftenartikelComparative Genomic Analysis of Two Novel Sporadic Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 Strains Isolated 2011 in Germany A large outbreak of gastrointestinal disease occurred in 2011 in Germany which resulted in almost 4000 patients with acute gastroenteritis or hemorrhagic colitis, 855 cases of a hemolytic uremic syndrome and 53 deaths. The ...

2012-12-30ZeitschriftenartikelComplete Genome Sequence of the English Isolate of Rat Cytomegalovirus (Murid Herpesvirus 8) The complete genome of the English isolate of rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV-E) was determined. RCMV-E has a 202,946-bp genome with noninverting repeats but without terminal repeats. Thus, it differs significantly in size and ...
-
2013-10-23ZeitschriftenartikelCytomegalovirus expresses the chemokine homologue vXCL1 capable of attracting XCR1+CD4- dendritic cells Cytomegaloviruses (CMV) have developed various strategies to escape the immune system of the host. One strategy involves the expression of virus-encoded chemokines to modulate the host chemokine network. We have identified ...

2009-05-14ZeitschriftenartikelDetection of hepatitis E virus in wild boars of rural and urban regions in Germany and whole genome characterization of an endemic strain Background: Hepatitis E is an increasingly diagnosed human disease in Central Europe. Besides domestic pigs, in which hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is highly prevalent, wild boars have been identified as a possible ...
-
2007-09-06ZeitschriftenartikelDiscovery of herpesviruses in multi-infected primates using locked nucleic acids (LNA) and a bigenic PCR approach Targeting the highly conserved herpes DNA polymerase (DPOL) gene with PCR using panherpes degenerate primers is a powerful tool to universally detect unknown herpesviruses. However, vertebrate hosts are often infected with ...
-
2012-05-01ZeitschriftenartikelDiversity of parvovirus 4-like viruses in humans, chimpanzees, and monkeys in hunter-prey relationships. During 2010–2011, we investigated interspecies transmission of partetraviruses between predators (humans and chimpanzees) and their prey (colobus monkeys) in Côte d’Ivoire. Despite widespread infection in all species ...
