- 10From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedDuring an epidemiologic investigation of pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 virus infection in May 2009 in Osaka, Japan, we found 3 clusters in which virus transmission occurred during the presymptomatic phase. This finding...
- 11From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedMembers of the Mycobacterium chelonae-abscessus complex represent Mycobacterium species that cause invasive infections in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. We report the detection of a new pathogen that had...
- 12From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIn contrast to competent hosts that serve as reservoirs for Lyme disease-causing spirochetes (hereafter called Lyme disease spirochetes), ruminants exert a zooprophylactic effect on Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. (1). Fewer...
