First Reported Case of Fulminant Weil's Disease in South Khorasan, Eastern Iran: Diagnostic Challenges in a Non-Endemic Region and Implications for Military Deployment. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Weil's disease should be considered even in non‐endemic regions when compatible clinical findings are accompanied by relevant exposure history. This case is epidemiologically notable as the first documented report from South Khorasan Province, highlighting the diagnostic challenges of leptospirosis in non‐endemic settings and the potential ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Maintenance of Leptospira Species in Leptospira Vanaporn Wuthiekanun Agar [PDF]
ABSTRACT The maintenance of Leptospira species in liquid or semisolid medium is time-consuming and at risk of contamination due to the needs of routine subculture and dark field microscopy. Using Leptospira Vanaporn Wuthiekanun (LVW) agar, we maintained 100 pathogenic ...
