TL;DR: The novel coronavirus might have a role in causing SARS and was detected in a variety of clinical specimens from patients with SARS but not in controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection and quantification of RNA of Ebola and Marburg viruses, Lassa virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, Rift Valley fever virus, dengue virus, and yellow fever virus by real-time reverse transcription-PCR.
Christian Drosten,Stephan Göttig,Stefan Schilling,Marcel Asper,Marcus Panning,Herbert Schmitz,Stephan Günther +6 more
TL;DR: The suitability of the assays was exemplified by detection and quantification of viral RNA in serum samples of VHF patients, and all assays were thoroughly optimized and validated in terms of analytical sensitivity by using in vitro-transcribed RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outbreaks of Disease Suspected of Being Due to Human Monkeypox Virus Infection in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2001
Hermann Meyer,Mathilde Perrichot,Markus Stemmler,Petra Emmerich,Herbert Schmitz,Francis Varaine,Robert Shungu,Florimond Tshioko,Pierre Formenty +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that two outbreaks of disease characterized by a pustular rash and suspected to have been caused by human monkeypox virus were indeed caused by monkeypox, and that in two outbreaks both monkeypox and varicella-zoster virus were involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Dengue Virus RNA in Patients after Primary or Secondary Dengue Infection by Using the TaqMan Automated Amplification System
TL;DR: In consecutive serum samples from 25 tourists with acute dengue fever, virus-specific RNA was detected by using fully automated TaqMan reverse transcriptase PCR, suggestive of a secondary d Dengue virus infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imported Lassa fever in Germany: molecular characterization of a new Lassa virus strain.
Stephan Günther,Petra Emmerich,Thomas Laue,O Kühle,Marcel Asper,A Jung,T. Grewing,J. ter Meulen,Herbert Schmitz +8 more
TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of a new Lassa virus strain imported into Germany by a traveler who had visited Ghana, Côte D'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso is described and a new method for full-length S RNA amplification may facilitate identification and molecular analysis of new arenaviruses or arenavirus strains.
