Human Herpesvirus 8 in Solid Organ Transplant Donors and Recipients: Need for Screening? A Dutch Seroprevalence Pilot Study. [PDF]

J Med Virol
Abstract Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) also called Kaposi's Sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is endemic worldwide. It is particularly pathogenic in immunocompromised patients. HHV8 related disease is a rare but dreaded complication in Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) recipients.

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

Seroprevalence of Noroviruses in Swine [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT Noroviruses (NVs) are important human pathogens that cause acute gastroenteritis. Genetically related animal enteric NVs have also been described, but there is no evidence of interspecies transmission of NVs. In this study we characterized antibody prevalence among domestic pigs by using recombinant capsid antigens of two human NVs ...

Seroprevalence of Human Malawi Polyomavirus [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2014
ABSTRACT The seroprevalence of the recently discovered human Malawi polyomavirus (MWPyV) was determined by virus-like particle-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in age-stratified Italian subjects. The findings indicated that MWPyV infection occurs early in life, and seroprevalence was shown to reach 42% in adulthood.

Confidence Intervals for Seroprevalence

Statistical Science, 2022
This paper concerns the construction of confidence intervals in standard seroprevalence surveys. In particular, we discuss methods for constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of individuals in a population infected with a disease using a sample of antibody test results and measurements of the test's false positive and false negative rates.

Seroprevalence of Q-fever in Algeria [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Q-fever was first described in 1937 by Derrick. It is a zoonosis with a worldwide distribution [1]. The main reservoir of Coxiella burnetii is represented by livestock and domestic animals. Humans are infected essentially through inhaling infectious aerosols at parturition or at slaughter.

Hepatitis A seroprevalence in Tuscany, Italy [PDF]

Eurosurveillance, 2009
Information regarding the current seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) is useful for the control of HAV infections. The objective of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of anti-HAV antibodies among children (1-5 years old) and young adults (15-20 years old) in Tuscany, in central Italy.

Predicting the distribution of canine leishmaniasis in western Europe based on environmental variables. [PDF]

, 2011
The domestic dog is the reservoir host of Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis endemic in Mediterranean Europe. Targeted control requires predictive risk maps of canine leishmaniasis (CanL), which are now explored ...
