  • Characterization and Prevalence of a New Porcine Calicivirus in Swine United States
    Characterization and Prevalence of a New Porcine Calicivirus in Swine, United States
    Wang, Qiuhong ;
    Scheuer, Kelly
    Jun 2011 | Emerg Infect Dis. 17(6):1103-1106.
    Real-time reverse transcription PCR revealed that new St-Valerien-ike porcine caliciviruses are prevalent (2.6%-80%; 23.8% overall) in finisher pigs in North Carolina. One strain, NC-WGP93C, shares 89.3%-89.7% genomic nucleotide identity with Canadian strains. Whether these viruses cause disease in pigs or humans or are of food safety concern requi ...

  • Novel Reassortant Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N5 Viruses in Domestic Ducks China
    Novel Reassortant Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N5) Viruses in Domestic Ducks, China
    Gu, Min ;
    Liu, Wenbo
    Jun 2011 | Emerg Infect Dis. 17(6):1060-1063.
    In China, domestic ducks and wild birds often share the same water, in which influenza viruses replicate preferentially. Isolation of 2 novel reassortant highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N5) viruses from apparently healthy domestic ducks highlights the role of these ducks as reassortment vessels. Such new subtypes of influenza viruses may pose ...

  • Association of Patients Geographic Origins with Viral Hepatitis Coinfection Patterns Spain
    Association of Patients’ Geographic Origins with Viral Hepatitis Co-infection Patterns, Spain
    Cachafeiro, Santiago Pérez ;
    Caro-Murillo, Ana María
    Jun 2011 | Emerg Infect Dis. 17(6):1116-1119.
    To determine if hepatitis C virus seropositivity and active hepatitis B virus infection in HIV-positive patients vary with patients' geographic origins, we studied co-infections in HIV-seropositive adults. Active hepatitis B infection was more prevalent in persons from Africa, and hepatitis C seropositivity was more common in persons from eastern E ...

  • Reality Check of Laboratory Service Effectiveness during Pandemic H1N1 2009 Victoria Australia
    Reality Check of Laboratory Service Effectiveness during Pandemic (H1N1) 2009, Victoria, Australia
    Catton, Michael ;
    Druce, Julian
    Jun 2011 | Emerg Infect Dis. 17(6):963-968.
    In Australia, the outbreak of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 began in Melbourne, Victoria; in the first 17 days, the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory detected 977 cases. Although the laboratory had a pandemic plan in place, a retrospective evaluation found 3 major variations from plan assumptions: 1) higher peak demand not limited by a case ...

  • Human Infection with Avian Influenza Virus Pakistan 2007
    Human Infection with Avian Influenza Virus, Pakistan, 2007
    Zaman, Mukhtiar ;
    Ashraf, Saadia
    Jun 2011 | Emerg Infect Dis. 17(6):1056-1059.
    Human infection with avian influenza (H5N1) virus raises concern for the possibility of a pandemic. We report 20 cases, which ranged from asymptomatic to fatal, in Pakistan in 2007. These cases indicate human-to-human-to-human transmission of this virus, and the number of cases may be higher than realized.

    Macrolide Resistance in Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Israel, 2010
    Averbuch, Diana ;
    Hidalgo-Grass, Carlos
    Jun 2011 | Emerg Infect Dis. 17(6):1079-1082.
    Macrolide resistance in Mycoplasma pneumoniae is often found in Asia but is rare elsewhere. We report the emergence of macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae in Israel and the in vivo evolution of such resistance during the treatment of a 6-year-old boy with pneumonia.

  • Possible Novel Nebovirus Genotype in Cattle France
    Possible Novel Nebovirus Genotype in Cattle, France
    Kaplon, Jérôme ;
    Guenau, Eric
    Jun 2011 | Emerging Infectious Diseases
    To determine if bovine caliciviruses circulate in France, we studied 456 fecal samples from diarrheic calves. We found a 20% prevalence of genogroup III noroviruses and a predominance of genotype III.2. Neboviruses, with a prevalence of 7%, were all related to the reference strain Bo/Nebraska/80/US, except for the strain Bo/DijonA216/06/FR, which c ...

    June 2011 | Emerging Infectious Diseases. 17(6):1082.
    From either the Carib yaya, for sore or lesion, or yaw, an African word for berry. The term yaws was in common use by the 17th Century, when Dutch physician Willem Piso provided one of the earliest recorded descriptions of yaws in South America in De medicina Brasiliense in 1648. Because lesions associated with the disease resemble berries, another ...

  • TickBorne Relapsing Fever Borreliosis Rural Senegal
    Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Borreliosis, Rural Senegal
    Parola, Philippe ;
    Diatta, Georges
    May 2011 | Emerg Infect Dis. 17(5):883-885.
    Detecting spirochetes remains challenging in cases of African tick-borne relapsing fever. Using real-time PCR specific for the 16S rRNA Borrelia gene, we found 27 (13%) of 206 samples from febrile patients in rural Senegal to be positive, whereas thick blood smear examinations conducted at dispensaries identified only 4 (2%) as positive.

    A male nematode was extracted from iris fibers of a man from the Brazilian Amazon region. This nematode belonged to the genus Pelecitus but was distinct from the 16 known species in this genus. Similarities with Pelecitus spp. from neotropical birds suggested an avian origin for this species.

    Multicenter trials in Southeast Asia have shown better survival rates among patients with severe malaria, particularly those with high parasitemia levels, treated with intravenous (IV) artesunate than among those treated with quinine. In Europe, quinine is still the primary treatment for severe malaria. We conducted a retrospective analysis for 25 ...

    Oropouche virus (OROV) is the causative agent of Oropouche fever, an urban febrile arboviral disease widespread in South America, with >30 epidemics reported in Brazil and other Latin American countries during 1960-2009. To describe the molecular epidemiology of OROV, we analyzed the entire N gene sequences (small RNA) of 66 strains and 35 partial ...

    To investigate the possibility of oral transmission of atypical scrapie in sheep and determine the distribution of infectivity in the animals' peripheral tissues, we challenged neonatal lambs orally with atypical scrapie; they were then killed at 12 or 24 months. Screening test results were negative for disease-specific prion protein in all but 2 r ...

  • Plasmodium knowlesi Malaria in Children
    Plasmodium knowlesi Malaria in Children

    Plasmodium knowlesi can cause severe malaria in adults; however, descriptions of clinical disease in children are lacking. We reviewed case records of children (age <15 years) with a malaria diagnosis at Kudat District Hospital, serving a largely deforested area of Sabah, Malaysia, during January-November 2009. Sixteen children with PCR-confirmed P. knowlesi monoinfection were compared with 14 children with P. falciparum monoinfection diagnosed by microscopy or PCR. Four children with knowlesi malaria had a hemoglobin level at admission of <10.0 g/dL (minimum lowest level 6.4 g/dL). Minimum level platelet counts were lower in knowlesi than in falciparum malaria (median 76,500/μL vs. 156,000/mL; p = 0.01). Most (81%) children with P. knowlesi malaria received chloroquine and primaquine; median parasite clearance time was 2 days (range 1-5 days). P. knowlesi is the most common cause of childhood malaria in Kudat. Although infection is generally uncomplicated, anemia is common and thrombocytopenia universal. Transmission dynamics in this region require additional investigation.
