Beyond Serology: A Meta‐Analysis of Advancements in Molecular Detection of Brucella spp. in Seronegative Animals and Biological Samples

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
Molecular diagnostics, such as PCR and biosensor‐based techniques, offer high sensitivity in detecting Brucella spp. in seronegative animals, overcoming the limitations of traditional serological methods. The pooled detection rate of 35.08% suggests a substantial number of hidden carriers.

Relationship between Distinct African Cholera Epidemics Revealed via MLVA Haplotyping of 337 Vibrio cholerae Isolates [PDF]

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Since cholera appeared in Africa during the 1970s, cases have been reported on the continent every year. In Sub-Saharan Africa, cholera outbreaks primarily cluster at certain hotspots including the African Great Lakes Region and West Africa.In this study, we applied MLVA (Multi-Locus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis) typing of 337 Vibrio cholerae

Control of Photovoltaic‐Based Shunt Active Power Filter System Based on Optimal Operating Point Tracking of PV System for Harmonic Mitigation, Load Supply and Grid Current Injection

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
The proposed control strategy combines a search algorithm to find the optimal operating point for the photovoltaic system and a harmonic identification technique. The OOPT algorithm regulates the operating point to achieve an optimal trade‐off between photovoltaic power production and the desired functionalities.

ClassTR: Classifying Within-Host Heterogeneity Based on Tandem Repeats with Application to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infections. [PDF]

, 2015
Genomic tools have revealed genetically diverse pathogens within some hosts. Within-host pathogen diversity, which we refer to as "complex infection", is increasingly recognized as a determinant of treatment outcome for infections like tuberculosis ...

Molecular characterization of Coxiella burnetii isolates by infrequent restriction site-PCR and MLVA typing [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2006
AbstractBackgroundCoxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, has a wide host range. Few epidemiological tools are available, and they are often expensive or not easily standardized across laboratories. In this work,C. burnetiiisolates from livestock and ticks were typed using infrequent restriction site-PCR (IRS-PCR) and multiple loci variable ...

The current MLVA typing scheme for Enterococcus faecium is less discriminatory than MLST and PFGE for epidemic-virulent, hospital-adapted clonal types

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Background MLVA (multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis) is a reliable typing technique introduced recently to differentiate also isolates of Enterococcus faecium.

Genetic Signatures of Contrasted Outbreak Histories of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus”, the Bacterium That Causes Citrus Huanglongbing, in Three Outermost Regions of the European Union

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT In an era of trade globalization and climate change, crop pathogens and pests are a genuine threat to food security. The detailed characterization of emerging pathogen populations is a prerequisite for managing invasive species pathways and designing sustainable disease control strategies.

Investigating the population structure of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri. Which molecular markers to use to distinguish between low polymorphic bacterial populations? : [P-96] [PDF]

, 2010
Comprehensive knowledge of pathogen population structures is crucial to understand the epidemiology and history of infectious diseases, but such data is largely unavailable for plant pathogenic bacteria.
