First molecular analysis of rabies virus in Qatar and clinical cases imported into Qatar, a case report

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Identifying the origin of the rabies virus (RABV) infection may have significant implications for control measures. Here, we identified the source of a RABV infection of two Nepalese migrants in Qatar by comparing their RABV genomes with RABV genomes ...

Poor housing quality increases risk of rodent infestation and lassa fever in refugee camps of Sierra Leone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Lassa fever, a viral hemorrhagic fever endemic in parts of West Africa, is a severe febrile illness transmitted to humans by the rodent Mastomys natalensis. To determine risk of Lassa fever in households in Sierra Leonean refugee camps, we analyzed the

Allergies and diabetes as risk factors for dengue hemorrhagic fever: results of a case control study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: The physiopathology of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), a severe form of Dengue Fever, is poorly understood. We are unable to identify patients likely to progress to DHF for closer monitoring and early intervention during epidemics, so most ...

LUJO HEMORRHAGIC FEVER

open access: yesProblems of Virology, 2017
Lujo hemorrhagic fever (LHF) is a viral disease accompanied with fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, arthralgia, myalgia and numerous signs of hemorrhagic syndrome. LHF causes a clinical syndrome remarkably similar to Lassa hemorrhagic fever. The first case of LHF occurred in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2008. There was a secondary transmission from

Reconstruction of the Evolutionary History and Dispersal of Usutu Virus, a Neglected Emerging Arbovirus in Europe and Africa

open access: yesmBio, 2016
Usutu virus (USUV), one of the most neglected Old World encephalitic flaviviruses, causes epizootics among wild and captive birds and sporadic infection in humans. The dynamics of USUV spread and evolution in its natural hosts are unknown.

Human Usutu Virus Infections in Europe: A New Risk on Horizon?

open access: yesViruses, 2022
The Usutu virus (USUV), a neurotropic mosquito-borne flavivirus discovered in 1959 in South Africa, has spread over the last twenty years across the European continent. This virus follows an enzootic cycle involving mosquitoes and birds.

Most neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies target novel epitopes requiring both Lassa virus glycoprotein subunits

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Lassa virus can cause haemorrhagic fever for which no specific treatment currently exists. Here the authors have cloned 113 monoclonal antibodies from the survivors of Lassa infection and show that the majority of neutralizing antibodies target a complex
