Journal Article
Bossé, J. T., Li, Y., Angen, Ø., Weinert, L. A., Chaudhuri, R. R., Holden, M. T., …Langford, P. R. (in press). Multiplex PCR assay for Unequivocal Differentiation of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Serovars 1 to 3, 5 to 8, 10 and 12. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 52, 2380-2385. https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00685-14

An improved multiplex PCR, using redesigned primers targeting the serovar 3 capsule locus, which differentiates serovars 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolates, is described. The new primers eliminate an aberrant serovar 3-indicative am...

HIV and schistosomiasis co-infection in African children
Journal Article
Bustinduy, A., King, C., Scott, J., Appleton, S., Sousa-Figueiredo, J. C., Betson, M., & Stothard, J. R. (in press). HIV and schistosomiasis co-infection in African children. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099%2814%2970001-5

HIV/AIDS and schistosomiasis both cause a substantial disease burden in sub-Saharan Africa and the two diseases often overlap in their epidemiological characteristics. Although disease-specific control interventions are continuing, potential synergie... Read More about HIV and schistosomiasis co-infection in African children.

Lack of Genetic Diversity in Newly Sequenced Porcine Circovirus Type 1 Strains Isolated 20 Years Apart
Journal Article
Tombacz, K., Patterson, R., Grierson, S. S., & Werling, D. (in press). Lack of Genetic Diversity in Newly Sequenced Porcine Circovirus Type 1 Strains Isolated 20 Years Apart. Genome Announcements, 2(2), e00156-14. https://doi.org/10.1128/genomeA.00156-14

The complete genome sequences of a porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) strain isolated in 1990 and one isolated in 2011 were obtained and compared to the sequences of other available PCV1 isolates. Phylogenetic analyses revealed very low genetic diversi... Read More about Lack of Genetic Diversity in Newly Sequenced Porcine Circovirus Type 1 Strains Isolated 20 Years Apart.
