The occurrence of influenza in different climates has been shown to be associated with multiple meteorological factors. incidence reported increase during rainy seasons tropical and the dry, cold months winter temperate climates. This study was designed explore role absolute humidity (AH), relative (RH), temperature, wind speed (WS) on activity Toronto, ON, Canada, area. Environmental data obtained from four stations Toronto area over period 1 January 2010 31 December 2015 were linked...
HepSEQ is a repository for an extensive library of public health and molecular data relating to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection collected from international sources. It hosted by the Centre Infections, Health Protection Agency (HPA), England, United Kingdom. This has been developed as web-enabled, quality-controlled database act tool surveillance, HBV case management research. The web front-end system can be accessed Author Webpage. format allows comprehensive molecular, clinical...
Measles virus causes an acute infection characterised by rash and fever. is preventable vaccination, but remains a significant cause of childhood mortality in the developing world with estimated number approximately 242,000 deaths measles 2006 [1].
Mobile genetic elements in bacteria, such as plasmids, act important vectors for the transfer of antibiotic resistance, virulence, and metal resistance genes. Here, we report genome sequence a new plasmid pLM-C-273, identified Listeria monocytogenes strain isolated from clinical sample Ontario, Canada.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major human pathogen. The outcome of acute hepatitis variable but usually followed by complete recovery. A small proportion infections in adults and higher early childhood continue chronically infected state which the persists liver. Patients with chronic have no initial symptoms infection, over time disease sequelae, cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma, can develop. It estimated that some 350 million people worldwide are currently HBV, many more will been recovered.
Comparative genomic analysis between pathogenic and nonpathogenic Listeria monocytogenes strains provides a good model for studying the virulence of this organism. Here, we report genome sequence L. strain F6540 (sequence type 360) identified specifically in food samples Ontario, Canada, 2010.
