Enterovirus D type 111 Genetically and Phenotypically Characterized
Members of the species Enterovirus D (EV-D) remain poorly studied. The two first EV-D types (EV-D68 and EV-D70) have regularly caused outbreaks in humans since their discovery five decades ago but have been neglected until the recent occurrence of severe respiratory diseases due to EV-D68.

Vaginal Biomarkers Predict Preterm Birth Risks
Premature birth and its complications are the largest contributors to infant death in the USA and globally. Complications of preterm birth are the single largest cause of neonatal deaths and account for 35% of the world’s 3.1 million neonatal deaths each year. More...04 Nov 2019
POC Test Based on Quantum Dots Detects Antibody Responses
Point-of-care (POC) assays, which can be performed at or near the site of care with a rapid turnaround time, are pivotal to transforming global disease control efforts, particularly in resource-constrained settings where access to laboratory facilities is limited. More...31 Oct 2019
Nasopharyngeal Pneumococcal Density Associated with Invasive Lung Disease
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is one of the most important bacterial causes of pneumonia among children and adults worldwide. Nasopharyngeal pneumococcal colonization is common in young children and represents a critical initial step in the progression to invasive disease. More...30 Oct 2019
