Neutral genomic microevolution of a recently emerged pathogen, salmonella enterica serovar agona [PDF]

, 2013
Salmonella enterica serovar Agona has caused multiple food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis since it was first isolated in 1952. We analyzed the genomes of 73 isolates from global sources, comparing five distinct outbreaks with sporadic infections as

Metagenomic sequencing of mpox virus clade Ib lesions identifies possible bacterial and viral co-infections in hospitalized patients in eastern DRC

Microbiology Spectrum
Mpox is an emerging zoonotic disease that caused two public health emergencies of international concern within two years. Less is known about the interplay of microbial organisms in mpox lesions which could result in superinfections that exacerbate ...

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Outbreaks in the United States, 2010–2017

Microorganisms, 2021
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause illnesses ranging from mild diarrhea to ischemic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS); serogroup O157 is the most common cause. We describe the epidemiology and transmission routes for U.S.

Dynamical epidemic suppression using stochastic prediction and control

, 2005
We consider the effects of noise on a model of epidemic outbreaks, where the outbreaks appear. randomly. Using a constructive transition approach that predicts large outbreaks, prior to their occurrence, we derive an adaptive control.
