Presence of Legionellaceae in warm water supplies and typing of strains by polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
, 2001 Outbreaks of Legionnaire's disease present a public health challenge especially because fatal outcomes still remain frequent. The aim of this study was to describe the abundance and epidemiology of Legionellaceae in the human-made environment.

Climate‐specific dynamics of fall armyworm on maize: Implications for pest monitoring and management
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 600-612, November 2025.FAW moth captures were higher in the Sudanese zone than the Guinean zone, peaking during the major rainy season, while the Guinean zone had more captures in the dry season. In the Guinean zone, plant damage correlated with adult moth captures and larval densities, whereas no such correlation was found in the Sudanese zone or at different maize growth ...

Legionella pneumophila strain associated with the first evidence of person-to-person transmission of Legionnaires’ disease: a unique mosaic genetic backbone [PDF]
, 2016 A first strong evidence of person-to-person transmission of Legionnaires' Disease (LD) was recently reported. Here, we characterize the genetic backbone of this case-related Legionella pneumophila strain ("PtVFX/2014"), which also caused a large outbreak

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.The perfoliate pondweed, Potamogeton perfoliatus, is a common macrophyte in freshwater and subarctic coastal areas. This species builds extensive meadows that play a role as a filter removing nutrients traversing from land to sea and maintaining essential ecosystem functions.

Phagocytosis of Legionella pneumophila is mediated by human monocyte complement receptors. [PDF]
, 1987 We have examined receptors mediating phagocytosis of the intracellular bacterial pathogen, Legionella pneumophila. Three mAbs against the type 3 complement receptor (CR3), which recognizes C3bi, inhibit adherence of L.

Rainfall is a risk factor for sporadic cases of Legionella pneumophila Pneumonia [PDF]
, 2013 It is not known whether rainfall increases the risk of sporadic cases of Legionella pneumonia. We sought to test this hypothesis in a prospective observational cohort study of non-immunosuppressed adults hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia ...

A Reflective Verbalization Strategy to Trigger Alternative Diagnostic Hypotheses
Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Volume 31, Issue 6, September 2025.ABSTRACT Rationale Physicians sometimes encounter various types of gut feelings (GFs) during clinical diagnosis. The type of GF addressed in this paper refers to the intuitive sense that the generated hypothesis might be incorrect. An appropriate diagnosis cannot be obtained unless these GFs are articulated and inventive solutions are devised.

Seasonal Host Shifts for Legionella Within an Industrial Water‐Cooling System
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.Taxonomic profiling for Legionella (the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease) and protist hosts within a water cooling tower showed seasonal peaks for Legionella that were associated with taxonomic shifts in the protist community. Legionella frequency was tracked using amplicon sequencing (blue line) and serogroup profiling (red line).
