Ebola virus epidemiology, transmission, and evolution during seven months in Sierra Leone

Daniel J. Park, +96 more
- 18 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of sequences from 232 patients sampled over 7 months in Sierra Leone, along with 86 previously released genomes from earlier in the epidemic, confirms sustained human-to-human transmission within Sierra Leone and finds no evidence for import or export of EBOV across national borders after its initial introduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Black and gold howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya) as sentinels of ecosystem health: patterns of zoonotic protozoa infection relative to degree of human-primate contact.

TL;DR: The results highlight the need for future research into the epidemiology, cross‐species transmission ecology, and clinical consequences of Giardia and other infectious agents not only in humans and livestock, but also in the wild animals that share their environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe Monkeypox in Hospitalized Patients — United States, August 10–October 10, 2022

Maureen J Miller, +165 more
TL;DR: In the United States, a total of 27,884 monkeypox cases (confirmed and probable) have been reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as of October 21, 2022 as mentioned in this paper .
Journal ArticleDOI

Giardia sp. and Cryptosporidium sp. Infections in Primates in Fragmented and Undisturbed Forest in Western Uganda

TL;DR: The presence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia species in primates living in forest fragments, but not in primates in undisturbed forest, suggests that habitat disturbance may play a role in transmission or persistence of these pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monkeypox Disease Transmission in an Experimental Setting: Prairie Dog Animal Model

TL;DR: It is shown that MPXV infected prairie dogs are able to transmit the virus to naive animals through multiple transmission routes, and animals secondarily exposed appeared to manifest more severe disease; however, the disease course was very similar to those of experimentally challenged animals.
