Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a novel polyomavirus from patients with acute respiratory tract infections.
Anne M. Gaynor,Michael D. Nissen,David M. Whiley,Ian M. Mackay,Stephen B. Lambert,Guang Wu,Daniel C. Brennan,Gregory A. Storch,Theo P. Sloots,David Wang +9 more
TL;DR: The presence of multiple instances of the virus in two continents suggests that this virus is geographically widespread in the human population and raises the possibility that the WU virus may be a human pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequent detection of human rhinoviruses, paramyxoviruses, coronaviruses, and bocavirus during acute respiratory tract infections
Katherine E. Arden,P. McErlean,P. McErlean,Michael D. Nissen,Theo P. Sloots,Ian M. Mackay,Ian M. Mackay +6 more
TL;DR: The high microbial burden imposed by HRVs, HMPv, HRSV, HCoVs, and the newly identified virus, HBoV on a predominantly paediatric hospital population with suspected acute respiratory tract infections is described and a new formulation of viral targets for future diagnostic research studies is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of human coronavirus HKU1 and human bocavirus in Australian children
Theo P. Sloots,P. McErlean,P. McErlean,David Speicher,David Speicher,Katherine E. Arden,Katherine E. Arden,Michael D. Nissen,Ian M. Mackay,Ian M. Mackay +9 more
TL;DR: Children under the age of 2 years were most at risk of infection by these viruses which contribute significantly to the microbial burden among patients with respiratory tract disease during the colder months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence, Etiology, and Symptomatology of Upper Respiratory Illness in Elite Athletes
L. Spence,Wendy J. Brown,David B. Pyne,Michael D. Nissen,Michael D. Nissen,Michael D. Nissen,Theo P. Sloots,Theo P. Sloots,Theo P. Sloots,Joseph G. McCormack,A. Simon Locke,A. Simon Locke,Peter A. Fricker +12 more
TL;DR: A higher rate of URI among elite athletes than recreationally competitive athletes during this training and competition season is confirmed and further study is required to uncover the causes of unidentified but symptomatic URI in athletes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of a newly identified human rhinovirus, HRV-QPM, discovered in infants with bronchiolitis.
P. McErlean,P. McErlean,Laura A. Shackelton,Stephen B. Lambert,Stephen B. Lambert,Michael D. Nissen,Theo P. Sloots,Ian M. Mackay,Ian M. Mackay +8 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the relatively short VP1 sequence suggest that theHRV-QPM virus is resistant to Pleconaril, setting it apart from the HRV A species.
