TL;DR: It is concluded that the Y pestis lineages that caused the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death 800 years later were independent emergences from rodents into human beings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brucellosis at the animal/ecosystem/human interface at the beginning of the 21st century
Jacques Godfroid,Holger C. Scholz,Thibault Barbier,Cécile Nicolas,Pierre Wattiau,David Fretin,Adrian M. Whatmore,Axel Cloeckaert,José M. Blasco,Ignacio Moriyón,Claude Saegerman,John Bwalya Muma,S. Al Dahouk,S. Al Dahouk,Heinrich Neubauer,Jean-Jacques Letesson +15 more
TL;DR: At the animal/ecosystem/human interface it is critical to reduce opportunities for Brucella to jump host species as already seen in livestock, wildlife and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brucella microti sp. nov., isolated from the common vole Microtus arvalis.
Holger C. Scholz,Zdenek Hubálek,Ivo Sedláček,Gilles Vergnaud,Herbert Tomaso,Sascha Al Dahouk,Falk Melzer,Peter Kämpfer,Heinrich Neubauer,Axel Cloeckaert,Marianne Maquart,Michel S. Zygmunt,Adrian M. Whatmore,Enevold Falsen,Peter Bahn,Cornelia Göllner,Martin Pfeffer,Birgit Huber,Hans-Jürgen Busse,Karsten Nöckler +19 more
TL;DR: Isolates CCM 4915(T) andCCM 4916 could be clearly distinguished from all known Brucella species and their biovars by means of both their phenotypic and molecular properties, and therefore represent a novel species within the genus Bru cella.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brucella inopinata sp. nov., isolated from a breast implant infection.
Holger C. Scholz,Karsten Nöckler,Cornelia Göllner,Peter Bahn,Gilles Vergnaud,Herbert Tomaso,Sascha Al Dahouk,Peter Kämpfer,Axel Cloeckaert,Marianne Maquart,Michel S. Zygmunt,Adrian M. Whatmore,Martin Pfeffer,Birgit Huber,Hans-Jürgen Busse,Barun Kumar De +15 more
TL;DR: Strain BO1(T) harboured four to five copies of the Brucella-specific insertion element IS 711, displaying a unique banding pattern, and exhibited a unique 16S rRNA gene sequence and also grouped separately in multilocus sequence typing analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Brucella MLVA typing for human brucellosis
Sascha Al Dahouk,Philippe Le Flèche,Karsten Nöckler,Isabelle Jacques,Isabelle Jacques,Maggy Grayon,Holger C. Scholz,Herbert Tomaso,Gilles Vergnaud,Heinrich Neubauer +9 more
TL;DR: The MLVA assay is rapid, highly discriminatory, and reproducible within human Brucella isolates, and can significantly contribute to epidemiological trace-back analysis of BrucellA infections and may advance surveillance and control of human brucellosis.
