    New Variant of Varicella-Zoster Virus
    Tipples, Graham A. ;
    Stephens, Gwen M.
    Dec 2002 | Emerg Infect Dis. 8(12):1504-1505.
    In 1998, a varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E (gE) mutant virus (VZV-MSP) was isolated from a child with chickenpox. VZV-MSP, representing a second VZV serotype, was considered a rarity. We isolated another VZV-MSP-like virus from an elderly man with herpes zoster. These gE mutant viruses may have arisen through independent mutation or may repre ...

  • Plasmodium ovale Malaria Acquired in Central Spain
    Plasmodium ovale Malaria Acquired in Central Spain
    Cuadros, Juan ;
    Calvente, Maria José
    Dec 2002 | Emerg Infect Dis. 8(12):1506-1508.
    We describe a case of locally acquired Plasmodium ovale malaria in Spain. The patient was a Spanish woman who had never traveled out of Spain and had no other risk factors for malaria. Because patients with malaria may never have visited endemic areas, occasional transmission of malaria to European hosts is a diagnostic and clinical challenge.

  • Legionnaires Disease at a Dutch Flower Show Prognostic Factors and Impact of Therapy
    Legionnaires’ Disease at a Dutch Flower Show: Prognostic Factors and Impact of Therapy
    Lettinga, Kamilla D. ;
    Verbon, Annelies
    Dec 2002 | Emerg Infect Dis. 8(12):1448-1454.
    After a large outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in the Netherlands, we determined risk factors for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and death and the impact of adequate therapy on ICU-free survival among 141 hospitalized patients. Overall mortality rate was 13%, and ICU mortality rate was 36%. Smoking, temperature >38.5 degrees C, and bilateral ...

  • Naturally Occurring Ehrlichia chaffeensis Infection in Two Prosimian Primate Species Ringtailed Lemurs Lemur catta and Ruffed Lemurs Varecia variegata
    Naturally Occurring Ehrlichia chaffeensis Infection in Two Prosimian Primate Species: Ring-tailed Lemurs (Lemur catta) and Ruffed Lemurs (Varecia variegata)
    Williams, Cathy V. ;
    Van Steenhouse, Jan L.
    Dec 2002 | Emerg Infect Dis. 8(12):1497-1500.
    A naturally occurring infection of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in lemurs is described. DNA of Ehrlichia chaffeensis was identified by polymerase chain reaction in peripheral blood from six of eight clinically ill lemurs. Organisms were cultured from the blood of one lemur exhibiting clinical and hematologic abnormalities similar to those of humans infect ...

  • Cofeeding Transmission and Its Contribution to the Perpetuation of the Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia afzelii
    Co-feeding Transmission and Its Contribution to the Perpetuation of the Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia afzelii
    Richter, Dania ;
    Allgöwer, Rainer
    Dec 2002 | Emerg Infect Dis. 8(12):1421-1425.
    To determine whether direct passage of spirochetes between co-feeding vector ticks contributes to the likelihood that the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia afzelii will perpetuate in nature, we compared the effects of time and space on transmission efficiency between simultaneously feeding ticks. The likelihood of co-feeding transmission increases w ...

  • Outpatient Antibiotic Use and Prevalence of AntibioticResistant Pneumococci in France and Germany A Sociocultural Perspective
    Outpatient Antibiotic Use and Prevalence of Antibiotic-Resistant Pneumococci in France and Germany: A Sociocultural Perspective
    Harbarth, Stephan ;
    Albrich, Werner
    Dec 2002 | Emerg Infect Dis. 8(12):1460-1467.
    The prevalence of penicillin-nonsusceptible pneumococci is sharply divided between France (43%) and Germany (7%). These differences may be explained on different levels: antibiotic-prescribing practices for respiratory tract infections; patient-demand factors and health-belief differences; social determinants, including differing child-care practic ...

    Identifying Reservoirs of Infection: A Conceptual and Practical Challenge
    Dec 2002 | Emerg Infect Dis. 8(12):1468-1473.
    Many infectious agents, especially those that cause emerging diseases, infect more than one host species. Managing reservoirs of multihost pathogens often plays a crucial role in effective disease control. However, reservoirs remain variously and loosely defined. We propose that reservoirs can only be understood with reference to defined target pop ...

    Recent epidemics of Plasmodium falciparum malaria have been observed in high-altitude areas of East Africa. Increased malaria incidence in these areas of unstable malaria transmission has been attributed to a variety of changes including global warming. To determine whether the reemergence of malaria in western Kenya could be attributed to changes ...

    West Nile virus (WNV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family of vector-borne pathogens. Clinical signs of WNV infection include neurologic symptoms, limb weakness, and encephalitis, which can result in paralysis or death. We report that the WNV-capsid by itself induces rapid nuclear condensation and cell death in tissue culture. Apoptosis is induce ...

    Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) is a serious public health problem in several Brazilian cities. Although the proximity of chicken houses is often cited as a risk factor in studies of urban ZVL, the role chickens play in the epidemiology of the disease has not been defined. Chickens attract both male and female sand flies (Lutzomyia longipalpi ...

    We isolated Cowpox virus (CPXV) from the ulcerative eyelid lesions of a 14-year-old girl, who had cared for a clinically ill wild rat that later died. CPXV isolated from the rat (Rattus norvegicus) showed complete homology with the girl's virus. Our case is the first proven rat-to-human transmission of cowpox.
