The agents of human febrile illness can vary by region and country suggesting that diagnosis, treatment, control programs need to be based on a methodical evaluation area-specific etiologies. From December 2006 2009, 9,997 individuals presenting with acute at nine health care clinics in south-central Cambodia were enrolled study elucidate the Upon enrollment, respiratory specimens, whole blood, serum collected. Testing was performed for viral, bacterial, parasitic pathogens. Etiologies...

The three parts of this communication describe the isolation virus from Aedes africanus, both in mice and a monkey another strain human serum, time only.These agents have been shown to be identical, caused disease man rhesus monkey, identical Chikungunya virus, which had not hitherto known occur Uganda. Paired sera subject show that suffered by was also virus. Both men concerned gave histories tallied closely with description given Robinson 1955 her report original epidemic Newala, Tanganyika.
During 2010 and 2011, the Loreto region of Peru experienced a dengue outbreak unprecedented magnitude severity for region. This coincided with reappearance virus-2 (DENV-2) in after almost 8 years. Whole-genome sequence indicated that DENV-2 from belonged to lineage II southeast Asian/American genotype was most closely related viruses circulating Brazil during 2007 2008, whereas previously grouped I (DENV-2 strains South America since 1990). One amino acid substitution (NS5 A811V) 2011...
1) The virus responsible for the epidemic of o'nyong-nyong (ONN) fever has been isolated from serum a febrile patient. 2) Using 1-day-old mice, isolation was achieved by inoculation diluted and brain passage material. 3) O'nyong-nyong is an arthropod-borne belonging to Group A Casals Brown, closely related chikungunya virus. 4) Plaque inhibition tests in tissue culture have shown it be distinct 5) patchy alopecia noticed some inoculated associated with ONN infection; suggested that such hair...
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is known to cause sporadic or explosive outbreaks. However, little about the endemic transmission of CHIKV. To ascertain occurrence CHIKV transmission, we tested blood samples from patients with a non-dengue febrile illness who participated in prospective cohort study factory workers Bandung, Indonesia. From August 2000 June 2004, and September 2006 April 2008, 1901 episodes occurred 231 (12.2%) dengue cases were identified. The remaining evaluated for possible...

ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya (CHIKV) are important human pathogens with common transmission vectors similar clinical presentations. Patient care may be impacted by the misdiagnosis of DENV CHIKV in areas where both viruses cocirculate. In this study, we have developed validated a one-step multiplex reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) to simultaneously detect, quantify, differentiate between four serotypes (pan-DENV) virus. The assay uses TaqMan technology, employing two...
Data regarding the viremia profile of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infected patients especially during pre-febrile period is limited. To obtain virological kinetic data on CHIKV infections. A two-week community observation for dengue transmission was conducted in Bandung, Indonesia, from 2005 to 2009. Acute specimens non-dengue febrile were screened by pan-alphavirus conventional RT-PCR. The positives confirmed RNA a specific RT-PCR followed sequencing. Simultaneously these also cultured Vero...
Background Dengue has emerged as one of the most important infectious diseases in last five decades. Evidence indicates expansion dengue virus endemic areas and consequently exponential increase infections across subtropics. The clinical manifestations infection include sudden fever, rash, headache, myalgia more serious cases, spontaneous bleeding. These occur children well adults. Defining epidemiology a given area is critical to understanding disease devising effective public health...
Increasing evidence suggests that influenza reassortment not only contributes to the emergence of new human pandemics but also plays an important role in seasonal epidemics, disease severity, evolution, and vaccine efficacy. We studied this process within 2091 H3N2 full genomes utilizing a combination latest detection tools more conventional phylogenetic analyses. found amount intra-subtype depended on number sampled genomes, occurred with steady frequency 3.35%, was affected by geographical...
There are limited data on the burden of disease posed by influenza in low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, most estimates worldwide rely passive sentinel surveillance at health clinics hospitals that lack accurate population denominators. We documented incidence, seasonality, health-system utilization with illness, vaccination coverage through active community-based 4 ecologically distinct regions Peru over 6 years. Approximately 7200 people 1500 randomly selected households were...
