Journal ArticleDOI
Replacement of neuraminidase inhibitor‐susceptible influenza A(H1N1) with resistant phenotype in 2008 and circulation of susceptible influenza A and B viruses during 2009‐2013, South Africa
Florette K. Treurnicht,Amelia Buys,Stefano Tempia,Mpho Seleka,Adam L. Cohen,Adam L. Cohen,Sibongile Walaza,Sibongile Walaza,Allison J. Glass,Inéz Rossouw,Johanna M. McAnerney,Lucille Blumberg,Lucille Blumberg,Cheryl Cohen,Cheryl Cohen,Marietjie Venter,Marietjie Venter +16 more
TL;DR: Data on the susceptibility of influenza viruses from South Africa to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) are scarce, and no extensive analysis was done.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Burden and Clinical Presentation of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Adults With Severe Respiratory Illness in a High Human Immunodeficiency Virus Prevalence Setting, 2012-2014.

Cohen,Nicole Wolter,Claire von Mollendorf,Anne von Gottberg,Sumayya Haffejee,Florette K. Treurnicht,Orienka Hellferscee,Nazir Ahmed Ismail,Nazir Ahmed Ismail,Cheryl Cohen +17 more
TL;DR: In this setting, tuberculosis, including acute presentation, is common in patients hospitalized with SRI, and is more likely to be coinfected with pneumococcus than patients with chronic presentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The PHIRST study as discussed by the authors aimed to estimate the community burden of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) including the incidence of infection, symptomatic fraction, and to assess household transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In June 2017, an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) was detected in commercial poultry farms in South Africa, which rapidly spread to all nine South African provinces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intra-host and intra-household diversity of influenza A viruses during household transmissions in the 2013 season in 2 peri-urban communities of South Africa.

Martinson,Meredith McMorrow,Meredith McMorrow,Ebrahim Variava,Katlego Masonoke,Adam L. Cohen,Adam L. Cohen,Cheryl Cohen,Cheryl Cohen,Florette K. Treurnicht +19 more
TL;DR: Limited intra-household sequence drift is observed as highlighted by sharing of the same influenza strain between different households within each community, corroborating the presence of strict selective bottlenecks that limit sequence variance.
