Reliable epidemiologic data are essential for formulating effective policy to control rotavirus disease through immunization. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of rotavirus…
Detection and Characterization of Novel Rotavirus Strains in the United States

- BiologyJournal of Clinical Microbiology
- 1 November 1998
Both sequence analysis of the VP7 open reading frame and binding to a G9-specific monoclonal antibody strongly suggest that U.S. G9 strains belong to serotype G9, which could suggest the emergence of new strains or inadequate diagnosis in the past.
Astrovirus diarrhea in Egyptian children.

There was evidence to suggest HAstV-1 homotypic immunity but not heterotypes immunity, and a candidate astrovirus vaccine would have to confer immunity very early in life.
Genetic variability among serotype G6 human rotaviruses: Identification of a novel lineage isolated in Hungary

- BiologyJournal of Medical Virology
- 1 September 2003
This study sequenced the VP7 genes and VP8* gene fragments of human rotavirus G6 strains detected in Hungary and revealed that the single PA169‐like Hungarian G6 strain belonged to genotype P[14] and was phylogenetically closely related to P11[14],G6 strains characterized previously.

Immunocytochemical staining of each cell line showed that ARNT was exclusively localized to the nuclear compartment and that a conserved nuclear localization signal mapped to the NH-terminal portion of the protein.
Early-phase transmission of Yersinia pestis by cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and their potential role as vectors in a plague-endemic region of Uganda.

Plague control programs in this region should remain focused on reducing rat flea populations, although the findings imply that cat fleas should not be ignored by these programs as they could play a significant role as secondary vectors.
Characterization of unusual G8 rotavirus strains isolated from Egyptian children
- J. Holmes, C. Kirkwood, J. Gentsch
- BiologyArchives of Virology
- 1999
It is demonstrated that the understanding of the geographic distribution of rotavirus strains is incomplete, the need to monitor rota- virus serotypes is emphasized, and the known distribution of serotype G8 and genotype P[14] strains in Africa is extended.
Reassessment of Dalbulus Leafhopper (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) Phylogeny Based on Mitochondrial Dna Sequences
- C. Dietrich, S. Fitzgerald, J. Holmes, W. Black, L. Nault
- Biology
- 1 September 1998
The resulting tree supports the hypothesis that the ancestral hosts of Dalbulus were gamagrasses ( Tripsacum spp.) and that the acquisition of a preference for maize arose independently in 2 DalBulus lineages.
Demonstration of Early-Phase Transmission of Yersinia pestis by the Mouse Flea, Aetheca wagneri (Siphonaptera: Ceratophylidae), and Implications for the Role of Deer Mice as Enzootic Reservoirs
- R. Eisen, J. Holmes, A. Schotthoefer, S. Vetter, J. Montenieri, K. Gage
- BiologyJournal of medical entomology
- 1 November 2008
Early-phase vector efficiency of Aetheca wagneri Baker, a common flea species infesting deer mice, is evaluated to determine the likelihood that Y. pestis could be spread mouse to mouse by this species and to support the notion of an independent deer mouse–A.
