Genotyping of Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus strains in Kazakhstan using MLVA-15
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018 Currently, although the prevalence of brucellosis in Kazakhstan remains high, there are limited data available on the genetic diversity of circulating Brucella strains. Here, MLVA was employed to genotype a panel of 102 Brucella isolates collected from eight Kazakh regions and neighboring countries (Russia, Kyrgyzstan) during the period 1935-2017. MLVA-

Evaluation and selection of tandem repeat loci for a Brucella MLVA typing assay [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2006 Abstract Background The classification of Brucella into species and biovars relies on phenotypic characteristics and sometimes raises difficulties in the interpretation of the results due to an absence of standardization of the typing reagents. In addition, the resolution of this biotyping is moderate and requires the

APMIS, Volume 132, Issue 11, Page 797-806, November 2024.We aimed to estimate the prevalence of potentially diarrhoeagenic microbes (PDMs) in faecal samples from asymptomatic individuals in a high‐income country, identify risk factors for carriage and to identify microbial factors that differ between PDMs in asymptomatic versus symptomatic individuals.

Diversity of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from pigs in a French slaughterhouse over 2 years
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 The pig is one of the main reservoirs of Yersinia enterocolitica strains pathogenic to humans. A description of the Y. enterocolitica population in this reservoir, and accurate discriminatory techniques for typing isolates are needed for prevention ...

Public health aspects of Vibrio spp. related to the consumption of seafood in the EU
EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus and non‐O1/non‐O139 Vibrio cholerae are the Vibrio spp. of highest relevance for public health in the EU through seafood consumption. Infection with V. parahaemolyticus is associated with the haemolysins thermostable direct haemolysin (TDH) and TDH‐related haemolysin (TRH) and mainly leads to acute ...

A decade of plague in Mahajanga, Madagascar: insights into the global maritime spread of pandemic plague [PDF]
, 2013 A cluster of human plague cases occurred in the seaport city of Mahajanga, Madagascar, from 1991 to 1999 following 62 years with no evidence of plague, which offered insights into plague pathogen dynamics in an urban environment.

Forest Pathology, Volume 54, Issue 3, June 2024.Abstract Bacterial black spot (BBS) of mango, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri pv. mangiferaeindicae, is an emerging disease affecting mango‐producing areas in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. The disease spreads primarily through wind‐driven rain and farm implements, and its host range is limited, affecting mango, cashew, and pepper ...
