Improved Method for the Detection and Quantification of Naegleria fowleri in Water and Sediment Using Immunomagnetic Separation and Real-Time PCR

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2013
Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a rare and typically fatal infection caused by the thermophilic free-living ameba, Naegleria fowleri. In 2010, the first confirmed case of PAM acquired in Minnesota highlighted the need for improved detection ...

Self-Assembled Biosensors on a Solid Interface for Rapid Detection and Growth Monitoring of Bacteria [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Developing rapid methods for pathogen detection and growth monitoring at low cell and analyte concentrations is an important goal, which numerous technologies are working towards solving. Rapid biosensors have already made a dramatic impact on improving patient outcomes and with continued development, these technologies may also help limit the ...

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...

An Atypical Kappa‐Class Chaperone‐Usher Fimbriae of a Human Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Strain Shows Multi‐Host Adherence and Distinct Phylogenetic Feature

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) involves the colonization of hosts by colonization factors (CFs) and the secretion of enterotoxins. CFs, especially chaperone‐usher fimbriae, mediate bacterial adhesion to host cells, with extensive genetic diversity observed among isolates.

Detection of Cyclospora cayetanensis in produce irrigation and wash water using large-volume sampling techniques

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2021
The recent increase of reported cyclosporiasis outbreaks associated with fresh produce has highlighted the need for understanding environmental transmission of Cyclospora cayetanensis in agricultural settings and facilities. Conducting such environmental

Investigation of Multistate Foodborne Disease Outbreaks

Public Health Reports, 2002
The U.S. food supply is characterized increasingly by centralized production and wide distribution of products, and more foodborne disease outbreaks are dispersed over broad geographic areas. Such outbreaks may present as a gradual, diffuse, and initially unapparent increase in sporadic cases.

Enhancing Food Safety in Supply Chains: The Potential Role of Large Language Models in Preventing Campylobacter Contamination [PDF]

arXiv
Foodborne diseases pose a significant global public health challenge, primarily driven by bacterial infections. Among these, Campylobacter spp. is notable, causing over 95 million cases annually. In response, the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system, a food safety management framework, has been developed and is considered the most

DomainScope: A disease network based on protein domain connections [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Protein domains are highly conserved functional units of proteins. Because they carry functionally significant information, the majority of the coding disease variants are located on domains. Additionally, domains are specific units of the proteins that can be targeted for drug delivery purposes.
