Evaluation of a Luminex‐Based Multiplex Immunoassay of Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses in Senegal
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Given the growing threat posed by viral hemorrhagic fevers, the development of surveillance tools is crucial to provide accurate and rapid solutions. Public health response involves risk assessment as well as effective and sustainable surveillance to ensure downstream communication and preparedness. A serological approach that offers high precision and

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2024.ABSTRACT Background Lassa fever (LF) is a viral hemorrhagic illness endemic in Nigeria and other West African countries. In recent years, the number of reported cases of LF in Nigeria has increased. In this study, we discussed the epidemiology of LF, the phylogenomics of the LF virus, issues associated with the increased cases of LF, and ...

Investigation of Viral, Bacterial and Parasitic Zoonotic Diseases in Rodents in Turkey
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 6, November 2024.Rodents are reservoir hosts for zoonotic pathogens. In this study, the presence of viral lymphocytic choriomeningitis and hantavirus infections, bacterial tularaemia and leptospirosis, and parasitic leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis were investigated in 498 rodents collected in Erzurum province, Turkey.

Identification and Genetic Analysis of Species D Rotaviruses in Pangolin Samples
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Pangolins have been found to carry severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)‐related coronaviruses. In light of this discovery, interest has been piqued in viromes of these heavily trafficked wild animals. In this study, we performed viral metagenomic sequencing to explore viromes of both confiscated dead pangolins and captive ...

The Role of Platelets in Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers [PDF]
, 2013 Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae and Flaviviridae are all RNA viruses that can induce a coagulopathy in infected patients. While there is a paucity of information on the cause of this coagulopathy, these viruses all produce a severe ...

Conserved Endonuclease Function of Hantavirus L Polymerase. [PDF]
, 2016 Hantaviruses are important emerging pathogens belonging to the Bunyaviridae family. Like other segmented negative strand RNA viruses, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) also known as L protein of hantaviruses lacks an intrinsic "capping activity ...
