Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiological Investigations of Four Cowpox Virus Outbreaks in Alpaca Herds, Germany.
Almut Prkno,Donata Hoffmann,Daniela Goerigk,Matthias Kaiser,Anne Catherine Franscisca van Maanen,Kathrin Jeske,Maria Jenckel,Florian Pfaff,Thomas W. Vahlenkamp,Martin Beer,Rainer G. Ulrich,Alexander Starke,Martin Pfeffer +12 more
TL;DR: Four cowpox virus (CPXV) outbreaks occurred in unrelated alpaca herds in Eastern Germany during 2012–2017 to gain a deeper understanding of CPXV epidemiology in alpacas and suggest an enhanced risk of future zoonotic infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tula Virus as Causative Agent of Hantavirus Disease in Immunocompetent Person, Germany.
Jörg Hofmann,Stephanie Kramer,Klaus R Herrlinger,Kathrin Jeske,Martin Kuhns,Sabrina Weiss,Rainer G. Ulrich,Detlev H. Krüger +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, molecular evidence of Tula virus infection in an immunocompetent patient from Germany who had typical signs of hantavirus disease was reported, although often considered nonpathogenic, represents a threat to human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of two PCR systems for the rapid detection of Leptospira spp. from kidney tissue.
TL;DR: Two routine PCR systems for the detection of Leptospira spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is Fecal Carriage of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli in Urban Rats a Risk for Public Health?
Sebastian Guenther,Julia Wuttke,Astrid Bethe,Jiri Vojtech,Katharina Schaufler,Torsten Semmler,Rainer G. Ulrich,Lothar H. Wieler,Christa Ewers +8 more
TL;DR: Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are synanthropic and inhabit urban infrastructures, therefore, they might be involved in transmission pathways of zoonotic bacteria, including multiresistant “superbugs” like extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple detection of zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 RNA in different squirrel species suggests a possible unknown origin for the virus
Kore Schlottau,Bernd Hoffmann,Timo Homeier-Bachmann,Christine Fast,Rainer G. Ulrich,Martin Beer,Donata Hoffmann +6 more
TL;DR: The detection in zoological gardens emphasizes the need for further investigations into the transmission route to humans in order to develop rational public health measures for prevention of transmission and the detection of several closely related VSBV-1 sequences in squirrels from different subfamilies raises questions as to the origin of the virus.
