Residual susceptibility to measles among young adults in Victoria, Australia following a national targeted measles-mumps-rubella vaccination campaign (2007)

Kelly, Heath A, Gidding, Heather F, Karapanagiotidis, Theo, Leydon, Jennie A, Riddell, Michaela A

Abstract Background Past measles immunisation policies in Australia have resulted in a cohort of young adults who have been inadequately vaccinated, but who also have low levels of naturally acquired...

Review of the temporal and geographical distribution of measles virus genotypes in the prevaccine and postvaccine eras (2005)

Riddell, Michaela A, Rota, Jennifer S, Rota, Paul A

Abstract Molecular epidemiological investigation of measles outbreaks can document the interruption of endemic measles transmission and is useful for establishing and clarifying epidemiological links...

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...

Identification of Immunodominant and Conformational Epitopes in the Capsid Protein of Hepatitis E Virus by Using Monoclonal Antibodies

Riddell, Michaela A., Li, Fan, Anderson, David A.

Antibody to the capsid (PORF2) protein of hepatitis E virus (HEV) is sufficient to confer immunity, but knowledge of B-cell epitopes in the intact capsid is limited. A panel of murine monoclonal...

Detection of Measles Virus-Specific Immunoglobulin M in Dried Venous Blood Samples by Using a Commercial Enzyme Immunoassay

Riddell, Michaela A., Leydon, Jennie A., Catton, Mike G., Kelly, Heath A.

The optical densities (ODs) of 216 dried venous blood (DVB) samples submitted to the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory as part of enhanced measles surveillance were compared to the...

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...

Kelly, Heath A, Gidding, Heather F, Karapanagiotidis, Theo, Leydon, Jennie A, Riddell, Michaela A

Dried venous blood samples for the detection and quantification of measles IgG using a commercial enzyme immunoassay.

Riddell, Michaela A., Byrnes, Graham B., Leydon, Jennie A., Kelly, Heath A.

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether samples of dried venous blood (DVB) were an acceptable alternative to serum for detecting measles-specific IgG in a commercial enzyme immunoassay. METHODS: Paired...

Elimination of endemic measles transmission in Australia

Heywood, Anita E, Gidding, Heather F, Riddell, Michaela A, McIntyre, Peter B, MacIntyre, C Raina, Kelly, Heath A

Elimination of endemic measles transmission is the culmination of a range of control measures at a national level. Current documentation of elimination proposed by WHO’s regional offices requires...
