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 ...
-
2008-08-01ZeitschriftenartikelAnalysis of collection of hemolytic uremic syndrome-associated enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. Multilocus sequence typing of 169 non-O157 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) isolated from patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) demonstrated 29 different sequence types (STs); 78.1% of these strains clustered ...
-
2011-04-28ZeitschriftenartikelAppearance of a novel measles G3 strain in multiple European countries within a two month period, 2010 During late 2010, a previously unrecognised strain of measles genotype G3 virus was identified in five different European countries by the World Health Organization Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network. Apart from one, ...
-
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 ...
-
2012-10-01ZeitschriftenartikelAutochthonous and Dormant Cryptococcus gattii Infections in Europe Until recently, Cryptococcus gattii infections occurred mainly in tropical and subtropical climate zones. However, during the past decade, C. gattii infections in humans and animals in Europe have increased. To determine ...
-
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 ...
-
2011-06-22ZeitschriftenartikelCharacterisation of the Escherichia coli strain associated with an outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in Germany, 2011: a microbiological study Background: In an ongoing outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome and bloody diarrhoea caused by a virulent Escherichia coli strain O104:H4 in Germany (with some cases elsewhere in Europe and North America), 810 cases ...
-
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 ...
-
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.
