Making the case for strong health information systems during a pandemic and beyond.
health information systems (HIS). This article summarizes these key challenges for HIS in times of a pandemic and beyond, with a focus on European countries. It builds on the experiences of a large ...
Progressive Control of Streptococcus agalactiae-Induced Innate Inflammatory Response Is Associated with Time Course Expression of MicroRNA-223 by Neutrophils.
inflammatory markers, including innate cell infiltrates. We found that miR-223 expression is rapidly induced at very early time points (3 to 6 h postinfection [p.i.]) mainly by lung-infiltrating neutrophils. ...
Unexpected mould diversity in clinical isolates from French Guiana and associated identification difficulties.
matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In total, 38.8% of the 98 obtained molds isolates could not be identified and required a DNA-based identification. Fungal diversity was ...

A new multiplex RT-qPCR method for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of Zika and chikungunya viruses
early diagnosis, and therefore fast and adequate detection, is needed. To this end, a multiplex reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan method was designed to detect Zika (ZIKV) ...
A new multiplex RT-qPCR method for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of Zika and chikungunya viruses.
transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan® method was designed to detect universally Zika and chikungunya viruses. DESIGN: Two methods, targeting different genome segments, were selected from ...
