Correlation property of length sequences based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]
, 2000 This paper considers three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome. Detrended fluctuation analysis, spectral analysis, and the mean distance spanned within time $L$ are used to discuss the correlation property of these sequences.

Rickettsia prowazekii and Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Rickettsia prowazekii is the causative agent of epidemic typhus and a potential bioterrorism agent. Sensitive and specific rapid assays are needed to complement existing methods of detecting this organism. We developed a real-time quantitative polymerase

Emerging bacterial infectious diseases/pathogens vectored by human lice
Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023 Human lice have always been a major public health concern due to their vector capacity for louse-borne infectious diseases, like trench fever, louse-borne relapsing fever, and epidemic fever, which are caused by Bartonella quintana, Borrelia recurrentis,

Time series model based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]
, 2000 A time series model based on the global structure of the complete genome is proposed. Three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome are considered. The correlation dimensions and Hurst exponents of the length sequences are calculated.

Epidemic Typhus Imported from Algeria
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 We report epidemic typhus in a French patient returning from Algeria. The diagnosis was confirmed by serologic testing and the isolation of Rickettsia prowazekii in blood. Initially the patient was thought to have typhoid fever.
