   <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> in schoolchildren in a Madagascan highland school assessed by PCR and sedimentation microscopy and Bayesian estimation of sensitivities and specificities

   Pertinence:

   Madagascar is an endemic area for schistosomiasis, but recent prevalence data are scarce. We investigated stool samples of 410 children aged 4-18 years from a combined primary and secondary school in

2. Rapid detection of Brucella spp. in blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Publications)

   Rapid detection of Brucella spp. in blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization

   Pertinence:

   Brucellosis is a severe systemic disease in humans. We describe a new 16S rRNA-based fluorescence in situ hybridization assay that facilitates rapid and specific detection of all human pathogenic spec

3. Superiority of molecular techniques for identification of gram-negative, oxidase-positive rods, including morphologically nontypical <em>Pseudomonas... (Publications)

   Superiority of molecular techniques for identification of gram-negative, oxidase-positive rods, including morphologically nontypical <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>, from patients with cystic fibrosis

   Pertinence:

   Phenotypic identification of gram-negative bacteria from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients carries a high risk of misidentification. Therefore, we compared the results of biochemical identification by API

4. Fluorescence in situ hybridization for rapid identification of <em>Achromobacter xylosoxidans</em> and <em>Alcaligenes faecalis</em> recovered from... (Publications)

   Fluorescence in situ hybridization for rapid identification of <em>Achromobacter xylosoxidans</em> and <em>Alcaligenes faecalis</em> recovered from cystic fibrosis patients

   Pertinence:

   Achromobacter xylosoxidans is frequently isolated from the respiratory secretions of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, but identification with biochemical tests is unreliable. We describe fluorescence in

5. Rapid identification of clinically relevant <em>Enterococcus</em> species by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Publications)

   Rapid identification of clinically relevant <em>Enterococcus</em> species by fluorescence in situ hybridization

   Pertinence:

   A fluorescence in situ hybridization assay for the rapid identification of clinically relevant enterococci (Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium, E. gallinarum, the VanC-type resistance group) was develo

6. <em>Armillifer armillatus</em> pentastomiasis in African immigrant, Germany (Publications)

   <em>Armillifer armillatus</em> pentastomiasis in African immigrant, Germany

   Pertinence:

7. Molecular identification of zoonotic tissue-invasive tapeworm larvae other than <em>Taenia solium</em> in suspected human cysticercosis cases (Publications)

   Molecular identification of zoonotic tissue-invasive tapeworm larvae other than <em>Taenia solium</em> in suspected human cysticercosis cases

   Pertinence:

   Rarely, zoonotic Taenia species other than Taenia solium cause human cysticercosis. The larval stages are morphologically often indistinguishable. We therefore investigated 12 samples of suspected hum

8. The mitochondrial genomes of the zoonotic canine filarial parasites<em> Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens</em> and <em>Candidatus</em> Dirofilaria... (Publications)

   The mitochondrial genomes of the zoonotic canine filarial parasites<em> Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens</em> and <em>Candidatus</em> Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) hongkongensis provide evidence for presence of cryptic species

   Pertinence:

   BACKGROUND: Cutaneous dirofilariosis is a canine mosquito-borne zoonosis that can cause larva migrans disease in humans. Dirofilaria repens is considered an emerging pathogen occurring with high preva

9. Diagnosis of neuroschistosomiasis by antibody specificity index and semi-quantitative real-time PCR from cerebrospinal fluid and serum (Publications)

   Diagnosis of neuroschistosomiasis by antibody specificity index and semi-quantitative real-time PCR from cerebrospinal fluid and serum

   Pertinence:

   We describe the case of a 16-year-old German male expatriate from Ghana who presented with obstipation, dysuria, dysaesthesia of the gluteal region and the lower limbs, bilateral plantar hypaesthesia

10. Identification of nasal colonization with beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in patients, health care workers and students in Madagascar (Publications)

    Identification of nasal colonization with beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in patients, health care workers and students in Madagascar

    Pertinence:

    This study assesses the nasal occurrence of beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae both in patients in a hospital department of infectious diseases at admission and in healthy Madagascan students
