Abstract The emergence and spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) presented a challenge to the diagnosis ZIKV infections in areas with transmission dengue (DENV) chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses. To facilitate detection infections, differentiate these from DENV CHIKV, we developed Trioplex real-time RT-PCR assay (Trioplex assay). Here, describe optimization multiplex singleplex formats for variety chemistries instruments global standardization implementation. We evaluated analytical performance all...
As part of public health preparedness for infectious disease threats, CDC collaborates with other U.S. officials to ensure that the Laboratory Response Network (LRN) has diagnostic tools detect Orthopoxviruses, genus includes Variola virus, causative agent smallpox. LRN is a network state and local health, federal, Department Defense (DOD), veterinary, food, environmental testing laboratories. developed, Food Drug Administration (FDA) granted 510(k) clearance* Non-variola Orthopoxvirus...
ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that can result in adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as stillbirth or premature delivery. The Mongolian gerbil was recently proposed the most appropriate small-animal model of listeriosis due to its susceptibility same invasion pathways humans. objectives this study were investigate and outcomes gerbils orally exposed L. , compare dose-response data those other animal models, differences responses pregnant versus nonpregnant gerbils....
