Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and tissue distribution of Laribacter hongkongensis, a novel bacterium associated with gastroenteritis, in retail freshwater fish in Hong Kong.
Susanna K. P. Lau,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Rachel Y.Y. Fan,Ruby C.M. Lee,Jade L. L. Teng,Kwok-Yung Yuen +5 more
TL;DR: Seasonal variation in the recovery of L. hongkongensis from both whole fish and intestines was observed, with higher isolation rates in spring and summer than in fall and winter, and positive correlation between temperature and the isolation rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a Novel Betacoronavirus (Merbecovirus) in Amur Hedgehogs from China
Susanna K. P. Lau,Hayes K.H. Luk,Antonio C.P. Wong,Rachel Y.Y. Fan,Carol S. F. Lam,Kenneth S. M. Li,Syed Shakeel Ahmed,Franklin W.N. Chow,Jian Piao Cai,Xun Zhu,Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan,Terrence Chi-Kong Lau,Kaiyuan Cao,Mengfeng Li,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Kwok-Yung Yuen +15 more
TL;DR: It is supported that hedgehogs are an important reservoir of Merbecovirus, with evidence of recombination with viruses from bats, and structural modeling of the HKU31-RBD-hDPP4 binding interphase compared to that of MERS-CoV and Tylonycteris bat CoVHKU4 (Ty-BatCoV HKU4) suggested that HKU 31-R BD is unlikely to bind to hDPP 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus and dromedaries.
TL;DR: Rapid nucleocapsid antigen detection using a lateral flow platform allows efficient screening of dromedaries carrying MERS-CoV, which is a lineage C virus in the Betacoronavirus (betaCoV) genus, a lineage B betaCoV and airus in the Alphacor onavirus genus have been detected in dromingaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase is an IFN-γ–inducible entry factor for Enterovirus
Man Lung Yeung,Lilong Jia,Cyril C. Y. Yip,Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan,Jade L. L. Teng,Kwok-Hung Chan,Jian-Piao Cai,Chaoyu Zhang,Anna J. Zhang,Wan-Man Wong,Kin-Hang Kok,Susanna K. P. Lau,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Janice Y.C. Lo,Dong-Yan Jin,Shin-Ru Shih,Kwok-Yung Yuen +16 more
TL;DR: This is the first report to the authors' knowledge on the discovery of an entry factor, hWARS, that can be induced by IFN-&ggr; for EV-A71 infection, and the findings extend the knowledge of the pathogenicity of EV- a71 in relation to entry factor expression upon IFN;–treated semipermissive and cDNA-transfected nonpermissive cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
First Report of Tsukamurella Keratitis: Association between T. tyrosinosolvens and T. pulmonis and Ophthalmologic Infections
Patrick C. Y. Woo,Angie H. C. Fong,Antonio H. Y. Ngan,Dorothy M. W. Tam,Jade L. L. Teng,Susanna K. P. Lau,Kwok-Yung Yuen +6 more
TL;DR: The first two cases of Tsukamurella keratitis, presented as eye pain with or without blurring of vision, were described, and one case was associated with trichiasis and the other with contact lens wear.
