Coupling wastewater‐based epidemiology with data‐driven machine learning for managing public health risks

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional health surveillance methods play a critical role in public health safety but are limited by the data collection speed, coverage, and resource requirements. Wastewater‐based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a cost‐effective and rapid tool for detecting infectious diseases through sewage analysis of disease biomarkers.

Encephalitis-Associated Human Metapneumovirus Pneumonia in Adult, Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Human metapneumovirus pneumonia, most commonly found in children, was diagnosed in an adult with encephalitis. This case suggests that testing for human metapneumovirus RNA in nasopharyngeal aspirate and cerebrospinal fluid samples should be considered ...

Advances in laboratory assays for detecting human metapneumovirus

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2020
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is one of the major causes of acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) and shows high morbidity and mortality, particularly in children and immunocompromised patients. Various methods for detecting HMPV have been developed and

Point‐of‐Care Testing by Multiplex‐PCR in Different Compartments in Suspected Lower Respiratory Tract Infection After Lung Transplantation—Results of a Prospective Study

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Use of POCtmPCR with noninvasive samples (NPS and sputum) in LTx recipients with viral LRTI are a viable alternative to invasive BAL sampling, ABSTRACT Background Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality following lung transplantation (LTx).

Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Metapneumovirus Infections in Three-Dimensional Human Airway Tissues Expose an Interesting Dichotomy in Viral Replication, Spread, and Inhibition by Neutralizing Antibodies

Journal of Virology, 2020
Respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus are leading causes of respiratory illness worldwide, but limited treatment options are available. To better target these viruses, we examined key aspects of the viral life cycle in three-dimensional ...

Prophylactic and therapeutic approaches for human metapneumovirus [PDF]

VirusDisease, 2018
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important pneumovirus which causes acute respiratory disease in human beings. The viral infection leads to mild to severe respiratory symptoms depending on the age and immune status of the infected individual. Several groups across the world are working on the development of immunogens and therapy to manage HMPV ...

Respiratory Viruses at Time of Lung Transplant and the Relationship to Primary Graft Dysfunction

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a form of severe and immediate post‐transplant lung injury that can lead to death. In our cohort of 229 patients undergoing lung transplantation with protocolized day 1 bronchoscopy specimens sent for respiratory viruses (RVs), RV+ status was not associated with an adjusted difference in the risk of PGD.

What is new on molecular characteristics of Avian metapneumovirus strains circulating in Europe?

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020
In the present study one hundred and sixteen partial G gene sequences of Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) subtype B, obtained during routine diagnostics in different European Countries in the last few years (2014-2019), were analysed by sequence and ...
