Investigation of Optimal Specimen Type and Sampling Time for Detection of Measles Virus RNA during a Measles Epidemic

Riddell, Michaela A., Chibo, Doris, Kelly, Heath A., Catton, Michael G., Birch, Christopher J.

At various times postonset of rash, 74 patients positive for measles virus-specific immunoglobulin M provided samples for detection of measles virus RNA by a reverse transcriptase PCR. Of...

Utility of a Multiplex PCR Assay for Detecting Herpesvirus DNA in Clinical Samples

Druce, Julian, Catton, Mike, Chibo, Doris, Minerds, Kirsty, Tyssen, David, Kostecki, Renata, ...

A multiplex PCR was designed to amplify herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus, and varicella-zoster virus DNA present in a diverse range of clinical material. The susceptibility of...

Applicability of Oral Fluid Collected onto Filter Paper for Detection and Genetic Characterization of Measles Virus Strains

Chibo, Doris, Riddell, Michaela A., Catton, Mike G., Birch, Chris J.

Expansion of measles molecular surveillance to developing countries where measles is endemic will help facilitate measles control. Limited infrastructure in these areas is a barrier to referral of...

Genotyping of Measles Virus in Clinical Specimens on the Basis of Oligonucleotide Microarray Hybridization Patterns†

Neverov, Alexander A., Riddell, Michaela A., Moss, William J., Volokhov, Dmitriy V., Rota, Paul A., Lowe, Luis E., ...

An oligonucleotide microarray hybridization method for identification of most known measles virus (MV) genotypes was developed. Like the conventional genotyping method, the microarray relied on...

Novel Measles Virus Genotype, East Timor and Australia

Chibo, Doris, Riddell, Michaela, Catton, Michael, Birch, Christopher

Measles outbreaks in 1999 in Queensland and Victoria, Australia, were caused by a novel strain of clade G virus (proposed name g3). Epidemiologic and molecular evidence supports independent...
