Evaluating the Benefits and Limits of Multiple Displacement Amplification With Whole‐Genome Oxford Nanopore Sequencing

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) outperforms conventional PCR in long fragment and whole‐genome amplification, making it attractive to couple MDA with long‐read sequencing of samples with limited quantities of DNA to obtain improved genome assemblies.

Natural environmental water sources in endemic regions of northeastern Brazil are potential reservoirs of viable Mycobacterium leprae

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2017
BACKGROUND The detection of live Mycobacterium leprae in soil and animals other than humans suggests that the environment plays a role in the transmission of leprosy.

Increased CD8dim and Decreased CD8bright T Cells as Immunological Signature for Multibacilary Leprosy Patients

Immunology, Volume 175, Issue 4, Page 444-452, August 2025.
Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, manifests in a spectrum of clinical forms and severity. This study investigated the percentage of CD8+ T cells and their subpopulations (CD8bright and CD8dim T cells) in leprosy patients stratified by clinical forms, bacterial load, and age.

Mycobacterial genomics and structural bioinformatics: opportunities and challenges in drug discovery

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
Of the more than 190 distinct species of Mycobacterium genus, many are economically and clinically important pathogens of humans or animals. Among those mycobacteria that infect humans, three species namely Mycobacterium tuberculosis (causative agent of ...

Experimental Infection of Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera, Triatominae) with Mycobacterium leprae Indicates Potential for Leprosy Transmission

PLoS ONE, 2016
Leprosy is a chronic dermato-neurological disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae. In 2013 almost 200,000 new cases of leprosy were detected around the world.

A novel approach for feline sporotrichosis pathogen detection based on loop‐mediated isothermal amplification

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 474-484, August 2025.
Background – Sporotrichosis is a chronic, mycotic infection caused by fungi of the genus Sporothrix. Zoonotic sporotrichosis occurs mainly through S. brasiliensis transmission, resulting from the organism's traumatic introduction via scratches or bites, or contact with exudate from contaminated cats.

Recent advances in nontuberculous mycobacterial lung infections [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2019
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are members of the Mycobacterium genus other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae. NTM are widely distributed in the environment and are increasingly recognized as causes of chronic lung ...
