- 3From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedHepatitis E virus (HEV) strains from rabbits indicate that these mammals may be a reservoir for HEVs that cause infection in humans. To determine HEV prevalence in rabbits and the strains' genetic characteristics, we...
- 4From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedDrug-resistant tuberculosis is caused by transmission of resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and by acquisition of resistance through inadequate treatment. We investigated the clinical and molecular features...
- 5From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Fleas (order Siphonaptera) are obligate hematophagous insects. They are laterally flattened, holometabolous, and wingless ectoparasites. More than 2,500 species of flea, belonging to 16 families and 238...
- 6From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed[soo"do-mo'nes] From the Greek pseudo ("false") + monas ("unit"). In 1894, German botanist Walter Migula coined the term Pseudomonas for a genus he described as, "Cells with polar organs of motility. Formation of...
- 7From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedA 36-year-old woman acquired severe human granulocytic anaplasmosis after blood transfusion following a cesarean section. Although intensive treatment with mechanical ventilation was needed, the patient had an excellent...
- 8From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedIn Los Angeles, California, USA, 2 epidemics of West Nile virus (WNV) disease have occurred since WNV was recognized in 2003. To assess which measure of risk was most predictive of human cases, we compared 3 measures:...
- 9From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Rhodococcus spp. infections occur predominantly in immunocompromised patients, and most infections are caused by Rhodococcus equi (1). Seven cases of R. erythropolis infections in humans have been...
- 10From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedWe evaluated the prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in the pork production chain in Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain during 2010. A total of 337 fecal, liver, and meat samples from animals at slaughterhouses were...
- 11From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedWe investigated chloroquine sensitivity to Plasmodium falciparum in travelers returning to France and Canada from Haiti during a 23-year period. Two of 19 isolates obtained after the 2010 earthquake showed mixed pfcrt...
- 12From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedDuring the 1990s, an epidemic of B:4 Neisseria meningitidis infections affected Brazil. Subsequent increase in C:4 disease suggested B [right arrow] C capsular switching. This study identified B [right arrow] C switches...
- 13From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedParagonimiasis is an infection caused by lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus. In Asia, P. westermaniinfections are relatively common because of dietary practices. However, in North America, cases of paragonimiasis,...
- 14From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: School closure has been proposed as a strategy for slowing transmission of pandemic influenza (1). Studies of influenza A(H1N1)pdm 2009 (pH1N1) suggested that early and sustained school closure might...
- 15From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBabesiosis is usually acquired from a tick bite or through a blood transfusion. We report a case of babesiosis in an infant for whom vertical transmission was suggested by evidence of Babesia spp. antibodies in the...
- 16From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo explore the genetic diversity of avian hepatitis E virus strains, we characterized the near-complete genome of a strain detected in 2010 in Hungary, uncovering moderate genome sequence similarity with reference...
- 17From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Paracoccidioidomycosis, a systemic mycosis caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is endemic to rural areas of LatinAmerica (1). Persons are infected early in life by inhaling the fungus propagules,...
