Journal ArticleDOI
PCR inhibitors - occurrence, properties and removal.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the general properties of PCR inhibitors and their occurrence in specific matrices and strategies for their removal from the sample and for quality control by assessing their influence on the individual PCR test are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in Germany — Epidemiological data, development of risk areas and virus prevalence in field-collected ticks and in ticks removed from humans
TL;DR: The epidemiological situation in the different risk areas for TBE in Germany was found to vary considerably, if one considers the surveillance data of the last 40 years, and regular, systematic virus prevalence measurements from 1997 to 2002 do not indicate any risk increase nor do they suggest a downward trend.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis E virus antibody prevalence in hunters from a district in Central Germany, 2013: a cross-sectional study providing evidence for the benefit of protective gloves during disembowelling of wild boars

TL;DR: In this paper, the seroprevalence among hunters with contact to wild boars to identify factors that may be associated with past or present HEV infection was estimated for the hunters.
Journal ArticleDOI
TBE incidence versus virus prevalence and increased prevalence of the TBE virus in Ixodes ricinus removed from humans
TL;DR: Using nested RT-PCR, it is demonstrated that the prevalence of TBE virus (TBEV) in ticks removed from humans was significantly higher than in unfed, free-living Ixodes ricinus of the same area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of two extraction methods for viruses in food and application in a norovirus gastroenteritis outbreak.
TL;DR: The elution-precipitation method was most efficient in all food matrices tested, but norovirus could not be detected in the food items examined and both proper sampling and virus extraction from foods may be improved further to identify vehicles of infection.
