West nile virus and usutu virus co-circulation in europe: Epidemiology and implications
No full textWest Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are neurotropic mosquito-borne flaviviruses that may infect humans. Although WNV is much more widespread and plays a much larger role in human health, the two viruses are characterized by similar envelope antigens, clinical manifestations, and present overlapping in terms of geographic range of transmission, host, and vector species. This review highlights some of the most relevant aspects of WNV and USUV human infections in Europe, and the possible implications of their co-circulation

No full textThis is the third annual workshop of the COST Action 855 “Animal Chlamydioses and its zoonotic implications” and the first to be held in Italy.
Each year there have been advances in knowledge of many aspects of chlamydiae infecting animals and of several potential risk factors for the zoonotic transmission of these infections to human beings: this body of knowledge is further developed by the contibutors to the present workshop. This meeting represents, indeed, a wonderful occasion to bring all together scientists involved in different fields of chlamydiology. Basic science, epidemiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis are the major topics that will be presented and discussed. In addition, as it was in the previous annual workshops of COST 855, held in Dublin in 2003 and in Budapest in 2004, veterinarians, clinicians and biologists will meet in a wonderful scientific arena and the results presented will be of major interest for the advancement of science in the field of zoonotic infections
Clinical application of a molecular method based on real time RT-PCR for detection od influenza A(H1N1)v

Flu
assay (Cepheid). The overall sensitivity and specificity were 65.6% and 92.8%, respectively.
Sensitivity and specificity for A(H1N1)v virus were 85.7% and 94.9%, respectively, and therefore the
Xpert

Flu
assay
is suitable for a rapid diagnosis in critically ill patients where diagnosis is crucial for clinical management and for an
appropriate public health response
