  • Clinical features and patient management of Lujo hemorrhagic fever 
    Sewlall, Nivesh H.; Richards, Guy A.; Duse, Adriano; Swanepoel, Robert; Paweska, Janusz Tadeusz; Blumberg, Lucille Hellen; Dinh, Thu-Ha; Bausch, Daniel (Public Library of Science, 2014-11-13)
    BACKGROUND : In 2008 a nosocomial outbreak of five cases of viral hemorrhagic fever due to a novel arenavirus, Lujo virus, occurred in Johannesburg, South Africa. Lujo virus is only the second pathogenic arenavirus, after ...
  • Marburg virus infection in Egyptian rousette bats, South Africa, 2013-2014 
    Paweska, Janusz Tadeusz; Jansen van Vuren, Petrus; Kemp, Alan; Storm, Nadia; Grobbelaar, Antoinette A.; Wiley, Michael R.; Palacios, Gustavo; Markotter, Wanda (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018)
    We detected a high seroprevalence of Marburg virus (MARV) antibodies in fruit bats in South Africa; 19.1% of recaptured bats seroconverted. The MARV RNA isolated closely resembled the 1975 Ozolin strain. These findings ...
  • Rapid molecular strategy for filovirus detection and characterization 
    Zhai, Junhui; Palacios, Gustavo; Towner, Jonathan S.; Jabado, Omar; Kapoor, Vishal; Venter, Marietjie; Grolla, Allen; Briese, Thomas; Paweska, Janusz Tadeusz; Swanepoel, Robert; Feldmann, Heinz; Nichol, Stuart T.; Lipkin, Ian W. (American Society for Microbiology, 2007-01)
    Filoviruses have the capacity to cause lethal outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever in primates. Here we present a simple consensus reverse transcription-PCR method for filovirus recognition and characterization and demonstrate ...
  • Seroprevalence of Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in Ijara District, Kenya 
    Lwande, Olivia Wesula; Irura, Zephania; Tigoi, Caroline; Chepkorir, Edith; Orindi, Benedict; Musila, Lillian; Venter, Marietjie; Fischer, Anne; Sang, Rosemary (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 ...
