Phylogenetic Characterization of the Palyam Serogroup Orbiviruses [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
The Palyam serogroup orbiviruses are associated with abortion and teratogenesis in cattle and other ruminants. Of the 13 different serotypes that have been identified, the full genome sequence of only one, Kasba, has been published. We undertook to perform Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and phylogenetic analysis on 12 Palyam serotypes plus field ...

Recent changes in the epidemiology of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W across the world, current vaccination policy choices and possible future strategies

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a serious disease that is fatal in 5–15% and disabling in 12–20% of cases. The dynamic and unpredictable epidemiology is a particular challenge of IMD prevention.

Invasive meningococcal disease epidemiology and vaccination strategies in four Southern European countries: a review of the available data

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2023
Introduction Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a major health concern which can be prevented through vaccination. Conjugate vaccines against serogroups A, C, W, and Y and two protein-based vaccines against serogroup B are currently available in the

National Surveillance of Legionnaires’ Disease, China, 2014–2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We report national surveillance of Legionnaires’ disease in China. Urine samples from 11 (3.85%) of 286 patients with severe pneumonia of unknown cause were positive for the Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen.

Legionella pneumophila Serogroup 1 in the Water Facilities of a Tertiary Healthcare Center, India

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Proactive environmental surveillance for Legionella pneumophila in hospitals that treat immunocompromised patients is a useful strategy for preventing nosocomial Legionnaires’ disease. We report the presence of L.

Whole genome sequencing of Streptococcus pneumoniae: development, evaluation and verification of targets for serogroup and serotype prediction using an automated pipeline

PeerJ, 2016
Streptococcus pneumoniae typically express one of 92 serologically distinct capsule polysaccharide (cps) types (serotypes). Some of these serotypes are closely related to each other; using the commercially available typing antisera, these are assigned to

Simultaneous Identification of Clinically Common Vibrio parahaemolyticus Serotypes Using Probe Melting Curve Analysis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
The dynamic nature of Vibrio parahaemolyticus epidemiology has presented a unique challenge for disease intervention strategies. Despite the continued rise of disease incidence and outbreaks of vibriosis, as well as the global emergence of pandemic ...

Genomic comparison of serogroups O159 and O170 with other Vibrio cholerae serogroups

BMC Genomics, 2019
Of the hundreds of Vibrio cholerae serogroups, O1 and O139 are the main epidemic-causing ones. Although non-O1/non-O139 serogroups rarely cause epidemics, the possibility exists for strains within them to have pathogenic potential.We selected 25 representative strains within 16 V.

Meningococcal Disease in South Africa, 1999–2002

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We describe the epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease in South Africa from August 1999 through July 2002, as reported to a laboratory-based surveillance system. Neisseria meningitidis isolates were further characterized.
