Development of Multi-Locus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis for Outbreak Detection of Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]

, 2006
Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of septicemia and meningitis worldwide. Traditional typing methods like pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for identifying outbreaks are subjective and time consuming.

Polymorphic Amplified Typing Sequences (PATS) Strain Typing System Accurately Discriminates a Set of Temporally and Spatially Disparate Escherichia coli O157 Isolates Associated with Human Infection [PDF]

, 2014
Polymorphic Amplified Typing Sequences (PATS) is a PCR-based Escherichia coli O157 (O157) strain typing system. Here, we show that PATS compares excellently with Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) in that both methods cluster geographically diverse ...

Microbial Forensics: Comparison of MLVA Results According to NGS Methods, and Forensic DNA Analysis Using MLVA

Journal of the Korea Institute of Military Science and Technology
Microbial forensics is a scientific discipline for analyzing evidence related to biological crimes by identifying the origin of microorganisms. Multiple locus variable number tandem repeat analysis(MLVA) is one of the microbiological analysis methods used to specify subtypes within a species based on the number of tandem repeat in the genome, and ...

Spatial distribution of Legionella pneumophila MLVA-genotypes in a drinking water system [PDF]

Water Research, 2015
Bacteria of the genus Legionella cause water-based infections, resulting in severe pneumonia. To improve our knowledge about Legionella spp. ecology, its prevalence and its relationships with environmental factors were studied. Seasonal samples were taken from both water and biofilm at seven sampling points of a small drinking water distribution system

Development and evaluation of a multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeats analysis assay for subtyping Salmonella Typhi strains from sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: Molecular epidemiological investigations of the highly clonal Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) are important in outbreak detection and in tracking disease transmission.

MLVA subtyping of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from meat products and meat processing plants [PDF]

Food Research International, 2018
Listeria monocytogenes is widely distributed in meat products and the meat-processing industry thus posing a risk to consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) for use as a L.

Atlantic Salmon Alevins Experimentally Exposed to Salmon Gill Poxvirus Become Infected, With the Virus Targeting Epithelial Cells in the Gills, Oral Cavity and Skin

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Infection with salmon gill poxvirus (SGPV) can cause severe gill pathology, leading to respiratory distress and high mortality rates in salmon hatcheries, known as salmon gill poxvirus disease. While the infection has been documented in salmon at sea, broodfish and wild salmon, its occurrence in salmon alevins remains unreported.

Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Marine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.
