1. <em>Candidatus</em> Dirofilaria hongkongensis as causative agent of human ocular filariosis after travel to India (Publications)

   <em>Candidatus</em> Dirofilaria hongkongensis as causative agent of human ocular filariosis after travel to India

   Relevance:

   We report a human case of ocular Dirofilaria infection in a traveler returning to Austria from India. Analysis of mitochondrial sequences identified the worm as Candidatus Dirofilaria hongkongensis, a

2. Prospective European-wide multicentre study on a blood based real-time PCR for the diagnosis of acute schistosomiasis (Publications)

   Prospective European-wide multicentre study on a blood based real-time PCR for the diagnosis of acute schistosomiasis

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Acute schistosomiasis constitutes a rare but serious condition in individuals experiencing their first prepatent Schistosoma infection. To circumvent costly and time-consuming diagnostics,

4. Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis caused by <em>Ancylostoma</em> hookworm (Publications)

   Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis caused by <em>Ancylostoma</em> hookworm

   Relevance:

   Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis is an ocular infectious disease caused by several distinct nematodes. Definite identification of the involved nematodes is rarely achieved. We report on the

5. <em>Chlamydia pneumoniae</em> in an ex vivo human artery culture model (Publications)

   <em>Chlamydia pneumoniae</em> in an ex vivo human artery culture model

   Relevance:

   The role of the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae in the development of atherosclerosis could not be completely clarified. Reasons are the highly discrepant results obtained in the

6. Rapid identification of <em>Propionibacterium acnes</em> from blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Publications)

   Rapid identification of <em>Propionibacterium acnes</em> from blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization

   Relevance:

   A newly designed probe for rapid identification of Propionibacterium acnes by fluorescence in situ hybridization was evaluated using 111 isolates from subculture and showed 100% sensitivity and specif

7. Biology and clinical significance of chlamydiae (Publications)

8. <em>Dirofilaria repens</em> infection and concomitant meningoencephalitis (Publications)

   <em>Dirofilaria repens</em> infection and concomitant meningoencephalitis

   Relevance:

   Dirofilaria repens, a filarial nematode of dogs and other carnivores, can accidentally infect humans. Clinical symptoms are usually restricted to a subcutaneous nodule containing a single infertile pa

   Accelerated identification of <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> from blood cultures by a modified fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization procedure

   Relevance:

   This study evaluated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) directly from blood cultures. Initially, 36

10. Rapid identification of beta-hemolytic streptococci by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (Publications)

    Rapid identification of beta-hemolytic streptococci by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

    Relevance:

    Rapid identification of pathogenic, beta-hemolytic streptococci is important for treatment decisions. We evaluated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for this purpose using 23 reference strains
