Snapshot of Moving and Expanding Clones of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Their Global Distribution Assessed by Spoligotyping in an International Study

TL;DR: To facilitate the analysis of hundreds of spoligotypes each made up of a binary succession of 43 bits of information, a number of major and minor visual rules were also defined to define 36 major clades (or families) of M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes.

TL;DR: This global distribution was defined by data-mining of an international spoligotyping database, SpolDB3, which contains 11,708 patterns from as many clinical isolates originating from more than 90 countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monoclonality or oligoclonality of human herpesvirus 8 terminal repeat sequences in Kaposi's sarcoma and other diseases.

TL;DR: The finding that nodular KS lesions display all possible patterns of clonality supports the model according to which KS begins as a polyclonal disease with subsequent evolution to a monoclonal process, suggesting that HHV8 infection precedes tumor growth and thus supporting an etiologic role of latentHHV8 in these proliferations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular epidemiology of human herpesvirus 8 in africa: both B and A5 K1 genotypes, as well as the M and P genotypes of K14.1/K15 loci, are frequent and widespread.

TL;DR: Analysis of 52 new HHV8 strains by sequencing the complete hypervariable K1 gene and genotyping the K14.1/K15 loci revealed an overall predominance of P subtype, except in the A5 and B K1 groups, in which the P and M alleles were equally represented.
