TL;DR: A novel coronavirus is associated with this outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, and the evidence indicates that this virus has an etiologic role in SARS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Legionella and Legionnaires' Disease: 25 Years of Investigation
TL;DR: There is optimism that newly developed guidelines and water treatment practices can greatly reduce the incidence of this preventable illness, and there is a critical need for surveillance for travel-related legionellosis in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A quantitative molecular diagnostic approach improved population-level and case-level characterisation of the causes of diarrhoea and indicated a high burden of disease associated with six pathogens, for which targeted treatment should be prioritised.
Journal ArticleDOI
The molecular ecology of legionellae
TL;DR: Comparison of the invasive strategies of L. pneumophila in mammalian and protozoan cells and study of the interactions between Legionella and protozooa should prove useful in development of strategies for the prevention of legionellosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardizing Chlamydia pneumoniae assays : Recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA) and the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control (Canada)

TL;DR: Serological testing, culture, DNA amplification, and tissue diagnostics are reviewed, and standardized definitions for "acute infection" and "past exposure" are proposed, and the use of single immunoglobulin G titers for determining acute infection and IgA for determining chronic infection are discouraged.
