- 5From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedNational blood donor screening for West Nile virus (WNV) RNA using minipool nucleic acid amplification testing (MP-NAT) was implemented in the United States in July 2003. We compiled national NAT yield data and performed...
- 6From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Diphtheria is rare in countries with high vaccination coverage, but as seen in Europe in recent decades, control can disintegrate rapidly. When diphtheria is rare, surveillance is challenging because...
- 7From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMultidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi B dT+ isolates from patients with gastroenteritis were identical with isolates from their home aquariums. Matched isolates had identical phage types, Xbal and...
- 8From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Choi et al. (1) conducted a study on sequence analysis of a partial rompB gene amplified from sera of humans who were seropositive for spotted fever group (SFG) and typhus group rickettsioses. They write,...
- 9From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo determine the effect of chemoprophylaxis on the case-fatality rate of malaria, we analyzed all cases of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in nonimmune persons reported from 1993 to 2004 in Germany. In univariate and...
- 10From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedSalmonellae are a common cause of foodborne disease worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) supports international foodborne disease surveillance through WHO Global Salm-Surv and other activities. WHO Global...
- 11From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedRelapsing fever Borrelia infections have attracted little attention in recent years; however, where endemic, these infections still result in considerable illness and death. Despite the marked antimicrobial drug...
- 12From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedNecrotizing pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus aureus strains carrying the Panton-Valentin leukocidin gene is a newly described disease entity. We report a new fatal case of necrotizing pneumonia. An S. aureus strain...
- 13From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an endemic flavivirus disease in Asia. The JE virus (JEV) is one of the leading causes of viral encephalitis: 35,000-50,000 cases occur every year (1). While most infections...
- 14From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedLyssavirus surveillance in bats was performed in Bangladesh during 2003 and 2004. No virus isolates were obtained. Three serum samples (all from Pteropus giganteus, n = 127) of 288 total serum samples, obtained from bats...
- 15From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAlthough syndromic surveillance systems using nonclinical data have been implemented in the United States, the approach has yet to be tested in France. We present the results of the first model based on drug sales that...
- 16From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCanine coronavirus (CCoV) is usually responsible for mild, self-limiting infections restricted to the enteric tract. We report an outbreak of fatal disease in puppies caused by a pathogenic variant of CCoV that was...
- 17From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 12, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThree more isolates of Lagos bat virus were recently recovered from fruit bats in South Africa after an apparent absence of this virus for 13 years. The sporadic occurrence of cases is likely due to inadequate...
