-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2011-05)Despite the major advances made in preventive health care and food technology, water and foodborne transmission of human enteric viruses is a well-recognised widespread public health problem. Factors such as changing ...
-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2011-05)The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a blood-borne pathogen approximately 75 - 200 times more infectious than the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and hyper-endemic in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2011-05)There is now enough scientific evidence available to predict that conventional cervical cancer screening with cytology will eventually be replaced by testing for markers of HPV infection associated with disease progression. ...
-
Palindromic-nucleotide substitutions (PNS) of hepatitis C virus genotypes 1 and 5a from South Africa (Elsevier, 2011-08)The HCV stem-loop subdomains III-a, -b and -c have been shown to reflect the characteristics of the virus and identify isolates by genus, genotype and subtype. The aim of this study was to investigate the genotype-specific ...

Fatal neurologic disease and abortion in mare infected with lineage 1 West Nile virus, South Africa (Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011-08)In 2010, lineage 1 West Nile virus was detected in South Africa in the brain of a pregnant mare that succumbed to neurologic disease and in her aborted fetus, suggesting an association with abortion in horses. All West ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-08)Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) G protein deletion mutants replicate effectively in vitro but have not been detected in nature. Subtyping of RSV strains in hospitalized children in South Africa identified G protein PCR ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-09)Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a major cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants, immunocompromised and the elderly in both developed and developing countries. Re-infections are common and G protein variability ...
-
(Wiley, 2011-10)Respiratory syncytial virus is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants. Disease severity has been linked to host immune responses and polymorphisms in genes associated with innate immunity. A ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2012)BACKGROUND: Data about respiratory co-infections of Influenza A H1N1 during the pandemic in Africa are limited. We used an existing surveillance programme for severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) to evaluate a new ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2012)BACKGROUND: In response to the potential threat of an influenza pandemic, several international institutions and governments, in partnership with African countries, invested in the development of epidemiologic and laboratory ...
-
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2012)Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral disease mainly affecting pastoralists who come in contact with animals infested with Hyalomma ticks, which are the key vectors of CCHF virus (CCHFV). CCHFV has ...
-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2012-03)OBJECTIVE: As sub-Saharan Africa is highly endemic for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, and their co-infection requires special management, we aimed to assess the serological and ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-03-21)This study aimed to assess norovirus (NoV) contamination and genotype diversity in surface water in Gauteng, South Africa. Between January 2008 and December 2010, three rivers, namely Klip, Suikerbosrant, and Rietspruit ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2012-08-01)BACKGROUND: The epidemiological and molecular characteristics of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the general population have been poorly investigated in Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2012-10-04)Marburg virus (family Filoviridae) causes sporadic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Bats have been implicated as likely natural reservoir hosts based most recently on an investigation of cases ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-21)BACKGROUND: Prior to this publication, the biting fly Haematobosca zuluensis (Zumpt, 1950) (Diptera, Muscidae, Stomoxyinae) was known only from a single male specimen collected in 1923 in Zululand, South Africa. Seven ...
-
(Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012-12)We investigated West Nile virus (WNV) as a possible disease etiology in persons hospitalized in South Africa. Of 206 specimens tested, 36 had WNV neutralizing antibodies, signifi cantly more than in similar earlier ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2012-12)BACKGROUND: 2009 Pandemic Influenza A(H1N1) was first detected in June 2009 in South Africa and later resulted in extensive transmission throughout Africa. Established routine surveillance programmes and collaboration ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2012-12-10)BACKGROUND: Host genetics influence the outcome of HCV disease. HCV is also highly mutable and escapes host immunity. HCV genotypes are geographically distributed and HCV subtypes have been shown to have distinct repertoires ...
-
(Open Journals Systems, 2013)OBJECTIVES: Knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) distribution in the general population is crucial for the development of new HPV vaccines and to provide a baseline from which to monitor the impact of current HPV vaccines ...
