The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally, with >365,000 cases in California as of 17 July 2020. We investigated the genomic epidemiology SARS-CoV-2 Northern from late January to mid-March 2020, using samples 36 patients spanning nine counties and Grand Princess cruise ship. Phylogenetic analyses revealed cryptic introduction at least seven different lineages into California, including epidemic WA1 strains...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has spread globally, resulting in >300,000 reported cases worldwide as of March 21st, 2020. Here we investigate genetic diversity and genomic epidemiology Northern California using samples from returning travelers, cruise ship passengers, community transmission with unclear infection sources. Virus genomes were sampled 29 patients diagnosed Feb 3rd through Mar 15th. Phylogenetic analyses revealed at least 8...
Abstract Background Botulism is a rare and potentially fatal paralytic disease caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). In April 2017, 4 California residents from 2 adjacent counties were hospitalized with suspected foodborne botulism, precipitating an investigation state local public health departments in California. Methods We interviewed botulism patients their families, inspected the suspect establishment, collected food. tested patient sera, stool, gastric aspirates using mouse bioassay...
