Journal ArticleDOI
Protection against Leptospira interrogans sensu lato challenge by DNA immunization with the gene encoding hemolysin-associated protein 1.
Christine Branger,Benoît Chatrenet,A. Gauvrit,Florence Aviat,A. Aubert,J. M. Bach,Geneviève André-Fontaine +6 more
TL;DR: The results show that the cross-protective effect with pathogenic strains of Leptospira, shared by Hap1, could be mediated by the DNA plasmid vector, which should facilitate the design and development of a new generation of vaccines against bacteria, particularly Leptonospira interrogans sensu lato.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waterborne Leptospirosis: Survival and Preservation of the Virulence of Pathogenic Leptospira spp. in Fresh Water
TL;DR: Data showed that despite unfavourable storage conditions such as cold, nutrient-poor acidic waters, the survival and virulence of pathogenic Leptospira spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for Recovering Microorganisms from Solid Surfaces Used in the Food Industry: A Review of the Literature
Rached Ismaïl,Florence Aviat,Valérie Michel,Isabelle Le Bayon,Perrine Gay-Perret,Magdalena Kutnik,Michel Federighi +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to present the most frequently used methods: swabbing, friction or scrubbing, printing, rinsing or immersion, sonication and scraping or grinding and describe their advantages and drawbacks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymerase chain reaction assay specific for pathogenic Leptospira based on the gene hap1 encoding the hemolysis‐associated protein‐1
Christine Branger,Béatrice Blanchard,Catherine Fillonneau,Isabelle Suard,Florence Aviat,Bruno Chevallier,Geneviève André-Fontaine +6 more
TL;DR: A PCR assay based on the hap1 gene would be a very useful tool for the rapid, sensitive and specific identification of pathogenic leptospires in samples for diagnosis or epidemiological survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leptospira exposure in the human environment in France: A survey in feral rodents and in fresh water.
Florence Aviat,B. Blanchard,V Michel,B. Blanchet,Christine Branger,J. Hars,François Mansotte,Lucien Brasme,C. De Champs,P. Bolut,P. Mondot,J. Faliu,S. Rochereau,A. Kodjo,Geneviève André-Fontaine +14 more
TL;DR: Harp1PCR demonstrates a significative difference for the renal carriage between the different species: muskrats and rats are more efficient maintenance hosts than coypu but all infect water.
