Unbiased Metagenomic Sequencing for Pediatric Meningitis in Bangladesh Reveals Neuroinvasive Chikungunya Virus Outbreak and Other Unrealized Pathogens. [PDF]

, 2019
The burden of meningitis in low-and-middle-income countries remains significant, but the infectious causes remain largely unknown, impeding institution of evidence-based treatment and prevention decisions.

Using the Surveillance Tool EpiWATCH to Rapidly Detect Global Mumps Outbreaks.

Global Biosecurity, 2020
Background: Non-validated, rapid intelligence surveillance data is becoming more important in detecting and responding to public health emergencies in the absence of readily available, validated surveillance data published by reputable sources such as ...

A massively parallel multi-level approach to a domain decomposition method for the optical flow estimation with varying illumination [PDF]

, 2015
We consider a variational method to solve the optical flow problem with varying illumination. We apply an adaptive control of the regularization parameter which allows us to preserve the edges and fine features of the computed flow.

Development and Use of an Endpoint Titration Assay To Characterize Mumps IgG Avidity following Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Wild-Type Mumps Infection

mSphere, 2018
Waning mumps IgG antibody and incomplete IgG avidity maturation may increase susceptibility to mumps virus infection in some vaccinees. To measure mumps IgG avidity, serum specimens serially diluted to the endpoint were incubated on a commercial mumps ...

Establishing a small animal model for evaluating protective immunity against mumps virus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Although mumps vaccines have been used for several decades, protective immune correlates have not been defined. Recently, mumps outbreaks have occurred in vaccinated populations.

A domain decomposing parallel sparse linear system solver [PDF]

, 2011
The solution of large sparse linear systems is often the most time-consuming part of many science and engineering applications. Computational fluid dynamics, circuit simulation, power network analysis, and material science are just a few examples of the ...

Development and evaluation of a next-generation sequencing methodology for measles virus using Oxford Nanopore Technology

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
We report the development of a bench protocol and evaluation of bioinformatics pipelines for the whole genome sequence (WGS) of measles virus (MeV) genotype D8. We established a bench protocol using 1 kb amplicons tiling the MeV WGS.

Molecular epidemiology of mumps viruses in the Netherlands, 2017-2019

PLoS ONE, 2020
Mumps cases continue to occur, also in countries with a relatively high vaccination rate. The last major outbreaks of mumps in the Netherlands were in 2009–2012 and thereafter, only small clusters and single cases were reported.
