Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis of viruses associated with emergence of Rift Valley fever in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, 2000-01.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis of selected regions of virus S, M, and L RNA genome segments indicated little genetic variation among the viruses associated with disease, indicating that genetic reassortment did not play an important role in the emergence of this virus in the Arabian Peninsula.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly Sensitive and Broadly Reactive Quantitative Reverse Transcription-PCR Assay for High-Throughput Detection of Rift Valley Fever Virus

TL;DR: A pan-RVF virus quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay with high analytical sensitivity, efficiency, and analysis of acute-phase blood samples collected from human patients revealed that patient viremia at time of presentation at hospital may be a useful prognostic tool in determining patient outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reemerging Sudan Ebola virus disease in Uganda, 2011.

TL;DR: Two large outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever occurred in Uganda in 2000 and 2007 and in May 2011, a single case of Sudan Ebola virus disease was identified in Luwero District.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marburgvirus resurgence in Kitaka Mine bat population after extermination attempts, Uganda.

TL;DR: Investigations at Kitaka Mine were stopped when the miners exterminated the bat colony by restricting egress from the cave with papyrus reed barriers and then entangling the bats in fishing nets draped over the exits, so whether 100% extermination was achieved is unknown.
