  • A case of human survival of rabies, South Africa 
    Weyer, Jacqueline; Msimang-Dermaux, Veerle; Paweska, Janusz T.; Le Roux, Kevin; Govender, Premi; Coertse, Jessica; Markotter, Wanda; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Blumberg, Lucille Hellen (Medpharm Publications, NISC (Pty) Ltd, Taylor & Francis, and Informa business, 2016)
    Human survival from rabies is exceptionally rare. We report a case of human survival (with severe neurological sequelae) in a child from South Africa. The patient was exposed to rabid dogs on two separate occasions and ...
  • A case study of rabies diagnosis from formalin-fixed brain material 
    Coertse, Jessica; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Sabeta, Claude Taurai; Weyer, Jacqueline; Grobler, A.; Walters, J.; Markotter, Wanda (South African Veterinary Association, 2011-12)
    Rabies is caused by several Lyssavirus species, a group of negative sense RNA viruses. Although rabies is preventable, it is often neglected particularly in developing countries in the face of many competing public and ...
  • Diversity and epidemiology of Mokola virus 
    Kgaladi, Joe; Wright, Nicolette; Coertse, Jessica; Markotter, Wanda; Marson, Denise; Fooks, Anthony R.; Freuling, Conrad M.; Muller, Thomas F.; Sabeta, Claude Taurai; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Rupprecht, Charles Edward (Public Library of Science, 2013-10-24)
    Mokola virus (MOKV) appears to be exclusive to Africa. Although the first isolates were from Nigeria and other Congo basin countries, all reports over the past 20 years have been from southern Africa. Previous phylogenetic ...
  • Epidemiology of Rabies in Lesotho : the importance of routine surveillance and virus characterization 
    Coetzer, Andre; Coertse, Jessica; Makalo, Mabusetsa Joseph; Molomo, Marosi; Markotter, Wanda; Nel, Louis Hendrik (MDPI Publishing, 2017-07-19)
    Rabies is widespread throughout Africa and Asia, despite the fact that the control and elimination of this disease has been proven to be feasible. Lesotho, a small landlocked country surrounded by South Africa, has been ...
  • Improved PCR methods for detection of African rabies and rabies-related lyssaviruses 
    Coertse, Jessica; Weyer, Jacqueline; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Markotter, Wanda (American Society for Microbiology, 2010-11)
    Eleven different lyssavirus species, four of which occur on the African continent, are presently recognized. These viruses cause rabies, the burden of which is highest in the developing world, where routine laboratory ...
  • New isolations of the rabies-related Mokola virus from South Africa 
    Coertse, Jessica; Markotter, Wanda; Le Roux, Kevin; Stewart, Daniel; Sabeta, Claude Taurai; Nel, Louis Hendrik (BioMed Central, 2017-01-31)
    BACKGROUND : Mokola virus (MOKV) is a rabies-related lyssavirus and appears to be exclusive to the African continent. Only 24 cases of MOKV, which includes two human cases, have been reported since its identification in ...
  • Reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid detection of canine associated rabies virus in Africa 
    Coertse, Jessica; Weyer, Jacqueline; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Markotter, Wanda (Public Library of Science, 2019-07)
    Rabies is a neglected disease mostly affecting the developing world. Accurate and reliable diagnostic and surveillance data forms the foundation for the formulation and monitoring of control strategies. Although various ...
  • Utility of forensic detection of rabies virus in decomposed exhumed dog carcasses 
    Markotter, Wanda; Coertse, Jessica; Le Roux, Kevin; Peens, Joey; Weyer, Jacqueline; Blumberg, Lucille Hellen; Nel, Louis Hendrik (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2015-05-18)
    This report describes four suspected rabies cases in domestic dogs that were involved in human exposures. In all these cases, the animals were buried for substantial times before rabies testing was performed. Animal ...
