Uncovering the viral aetiology of undiagnosed acute febrile illness in Uganda using metagenomic sequencing [PDF]

Nature Communications
Viruses associated with acute febrile illness in Africa cause a spectrum of clinical disease from mild to life-threatening. Routine diagnostic methods are insufficient to identify all viral pathogens in this region.

Zika Virus [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
Zika virus (ZIKV), a neurotropic single-stranded RNA flavivirus, remains an important cause of congenital infection, fetal microcephaly, and Guillain-Barré syndrome in populations where ZIKV has adapted to a nexus involving the Aedes mosquitoes and humans.

Viruses, 2022
Viruses are the cause of a considerable burden to human, animal and plant health, while on the other hand playing an important role in regulating entire ecosystems. The power of new sequencing technologies combined with new tools for processing “Big Data”

Sabin polio virus protein 1 (VP1) evolution in patients with acute flaccid paralysis from 2010 to 2016 in Uganda

Virology Journal, 2023
Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is a rare side effect of the oral polio vaccine but can be associated with outbreaks and permanent disability in patients harboring circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (cVDPVs).

Rubella virus genotype 2B endemicity and related utility of serum-based molecular characterization in Uganda

BMC Research Notes, 2023
There are 13 globally recognized rubella virus genotypes of which only 2 (1E and 2B) have been detected recently. The largest percentage of all reported rubella virus sequences come from China and Japan with Africa reporting limited data.

Patch formation driven by stochastic effects of interaction between viruses and defective interfering particles [PDF]

PLoS Comput Biol 19(10), 2023, 2023
Defective interfering particles (DIPs) are virus-like particles that occur naturally during virus infections. These particles are defective, lacking essential genetic materials for replication, but they can interact with the wild-type virus and potentially be used as therapeutic agents.
