TL;DR: Widespread, ongoing outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis have been observed in Uganda and Southern Sudan since spring 2010, and case numbers were estimated after MoH confirmation of reported cases from district health facilities and, in Southern Sudan, after a medical record review in six health facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A duplex recombinant viral nucleoprotein microbead immunoassay for simultaneous detection of seroresponses to human respiratory syncytial virus and metapneumovirus infections.
Yange Zhang,Yange Zhang,W. Abdullah Brooks,Doli Goswami,Mustafizur Rahman,Stephen P. Luby,Dean D. Erdman +6 more
TL;DR: The recN assay permits simultaneous testing for acute hRSV and hMPV infections and offers a platform for expanded multiplexing of other respiratory virus assays.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a newly isolated human coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the causative agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome, was described and its nucleic acid sequence and amino acid sequences of the open reading frames were provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling the Mysteries of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus
TL;DR: Standard, contact, and airborne precautions appear to be effective in limiting transmission and are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to manage known or suspected MERS-CoV infection in hospitalized patients as a primary means of preventing and controlling transmission.
