Artificial intelligence and avian influenza: Using machine learning to enhance active surveillance for avian influenza viruses.

Transboundary and emerging diseases
Influenza A viruses are one of the most significant viral groups globally with substantial impacts on human, domestic animal and wildlife health. Wild birds are the natural reservoirs for these viruses, and active surveillance within wild bird popula...

Developmental validation of PACE™: Automated artifact identification and contributor estimation for use with GlobalFiler™ and PowerPlex® fusion 6c generated data.

Forensic science international. Genetics
DNA mixture interpretation remains one of the major challenges in forensic DNA analysis. DNA mixture samples are inherently complex due to several factors including the variations in the quantity of DNA, the presence of non-allelic artifactual peaks ...

Automation of the standard DNA differential extraction on the Hamilton AutoLys STAR system: A proof-of-concept study.

Forensic science international. Genetics
For several decades, a common approach for processing sexual assault evidence has been to use the "standard" differential extraction to separate the evidence into a non-sperm-cell fraction and a sperm-cell fraction for further analysis. In this stand...

Giardia duodenalis assemblages in cats from Virginia, USA.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Giardia duodenalis is considered a species complex that is divided into 8 genetically distinct but morphologically identical assemblages (A-H). Assemblages C-H are generally host adapted, while A and B infect both people and animals and are considere...

Experimental infection of Friesian bulls with Theileria orientalis (Ikeda) and effects on the haematocrit, live weight, rectal temperature and activity.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Since 2012, New Zealand has suffered from an epidemic of infectious bovine anaemia associated with T. orientalis (Ikeda), an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite of cattle. Despite widespread agreement that T. orientalis (Ikeda) infection has im...

Prevalence and genotypes of Giardia lamblia from stray dogs and cats in Guangdong, China.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Giardia lamblia is a worldwide zoonotic intestinal parasite that infects humans and a wide range of mammals including dogs and cats, causing giardiasis with diarrhea. To investigate the infection and distribution of G. lamblia genotypes from stray do...

Predictive factors of spontaneous CMV DNAemia clearance in kidney transplantation.

Journal of clinical virology : the official publication of the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology
UNLABELLED: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurs frequently after solid organ transplantation. Therapeutic strategies, in particular when to start a curative treatment, has not yet been defined. The purpose of this study was to assess predictive fa...

Sludge reflects intra-amniotic inflammation with or without microorganisms.

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989)
PROBLEM: To investigate whether amniotic fluid (AF) "sludge" in patients with preterm labor (PTL) with intact membranes is related to intra-amniotic infection or inflammation.
