TL;DR: The real-time generation of genomic information at the start of the 2018 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in North Kivu Province demonstrated that the EVD outbreak in the North KIVu and Ituri Provinces was distinct from the 2018 EVD outbreaks in Équateur Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV Type 1 pol Gene Diversity and Antiretroviral Drug Resistance Mutations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
Nicole Vidal,Claire Mulanga,S. Edidi Bazepeo,J. Kasali Mwamba,Jean-Willy Tshimpaka,Mulowayi Kashi,N. Mama,Diane Valéa,Eric Delaporte,François Lepira,Martine Peeters +10 more
TL;DR: Although at the time of this study ARV use was not yet widespread in DRC, three strains were identified with one major mutation associated with drug resistance: L90M and M46L in protease and K103N in RT.
Journal ArticleDOI
High genetic diversity of HIV-1 strains in Chad, West Central Africa
Nicole Vidal,Donato Koyalta,Vincent Richard,Catherine Lechiche,Thomas Ndinaromtan,Abakar Djimasngar,Eric Delaporte,Martine Peeters +7 more
TL;DR: The genetic subtype distribution of HIV-1 strains in Chad is unique for several reasons: lower prevalence ofCRF02, high prevalence of CRF11 and subtype D, and absence of CRf06.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and molecular characterization of subsubtype A4 in central Africa.
TL;DR: Analysis of viral sequences from other African countries suggests that the A4 strains seem restricted to DRC where they already circulated at the onset of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
