Quantification of Enterovirus RNA in Sludge Samples Using Single Tube Real-Time RT-PCR

BioTechniques, 2000
We have developed a quantitative RTPCR method that can be used to determine the amount of enterovirus RNA in urban sludge samples. This method combines Taq-Man® technology with the ABI PrismTM 7700 real-time sequence detection system.

Measles and Rubella Incidence and Molecular Epidemiology in Senegal: Temporal and Regional Trends during Twelve Years of National Surveillance, 2010–2021

Viruses, 2022
We investigated the epidemiology of measles and rubella infections in Senegal based on data from twelve consecutive years of laboratory-based surveillance (2010–2021) and conducted phylogenetic analyses of circulating measles viruses.

Quantification of Lyssavirus-Neutralizing Antibodies Using Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Pseudotype Particles

Viruses, 2016
Rabies is a highly fatal zoonotic disease which is primarily caused by rabies virus (RABV) although other members of the genus Lyssavirus can cause rabies as well. As yet, 14 serologically and genetically diverse lyssaviruses have been identified, mostly

Implementation of the FilmArray ME panel in laboratory routine using a simple sample selection strategy for diagnosis of meningitis and encephalitis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Infectious meningitis is a serious disease and patient outcome relies on fast and reliable diagnostics. A syndromic panel testing approach like the FilmArray ME can accelerate diagnosis and therefore decrease the time to pathogen specific ...

Development of an artificial synovial fluid useful for studying Staphylococcus epidermidis joint infections

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a major causative agent of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). The ability to form biofilms supports this highly selective pathogenic potential. In vitro studies essentially relying on phenotypic assays and genetic approaches

Covalently linked dengue virus envelope glycoprotein dimers reduce exposure of the immunodominant fusion loop epitope

Nature Communications, 2017
The immunodominant epitope of dengue virus envelope protein (E) induces poorly neutralizing antibodies, which poses a problem for vaccine development. Here, the authors engineer covalently locked E dimers exposing an epitope that has been shown to induce

Serine-Arginine Protein Kinase 1 Regulates Ebola Virus Transcription

mBio, 2020
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a severe and often fatal disease for which no approved vaccines or antivirals are currently available. EBOV VP30 has been described as a viral phosphoprotein, and nonphosphorylated VP30 is essential and sufficient to support ...

Was könnten Virologen künftig besser machen?

Monitor Versorgungsforschung
Um es gleich am Anfang zu sagen: Virologie und Seuchenbekämpfung sind wie Klingel und Fahrradfahren: Ersteres ist jeweils notwendig, dafür aber nicht ausreichend.
