SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Transmission Clusters and Containment Measures in Ten European Regions During the First Pandemic Wave
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Life, Vol 11, Iss 219, p 219 (2021)
Abstract: Background: The spatiotemporal profiling of molecular transmission clusters (MTCs) using viral genomic data can effectively identify transmission networks in order to inform public health actions targeting SARS-CoV-2 spread. Methods: We used whole geno...
Automated, phylogeny-based genotype delimitation of the Hepatitis Viruses HBV and HCV
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): PeerJ, Vol 7, p e7754 (2019)
Abstract: Background The classification of hepatitis viruses still predominantly relies on ad hoc criteria, i.e., phenotypic traits and arbitrary genetic distance thresholds. Given the subjectivity of such practices coupled with the constant sequencing of sample...
Seroprevalence of Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 among the Personnel and Students of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece: A Preliminary Report
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Life, Vol 10, Iss 214, p 214 (2020)
Abstract: Due to early implementation of public health measures, Greece had low number of SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 severe incidents in hospitalized patients. The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (ΝΚUA), especially its health-care/medical ...
Spatiotemporal Characteristics of the Largest HIV-1 CRF02_AG Outbreak in Spain: Evidence for Onward Transmissions
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Frontiers in Microbiology, Vol 10 (2019)
Abstract: Background and Aim: The circulating recombinant form 02_AG (CRF02_AG) is the predominant clade among the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) non-Bs with a prevalence of 5.97% (95% Confidence Interval-CI: 5.41–6.57%) across Spain. Our aim was to...
Immunomodulatory Function of HBeAg Related to Short-Sighted Evolution, Transmissibility, and Clinical Manifestation of Hepatitis B Virus
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Frontiers in Microbiology, Vol 9 (2018)
Abstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a global public health problem can be asymptomatic, acute or chronic and can lead to serious consequences of infection, including cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV, a partially double stranded DNA virus, be...
Pockets of HIV Non-infection Within Highly-Infected Risk Networks in Athens, Greece
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Frontiers in Microbiology, Vol 9 (2018)
Abstract: As part of a network study of HIV infection among people who inject drugs (PWID) and their contacts, we discovered a connected subcomponent of 29 uninfected PWID. In the context of a just-declining large epidemic outbreak, this raised a question: What ...
Unravelling the history of hepatitis B virus genotypes A and D infection using a full-genome phylogenetic and phylogeographic approach
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): eLife, Vol 7 (2018)
Abstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection constitutes a global public health problem. In order to establish how HBV was disseminated across different geographic regions, we estimated the levels of regional clustering for genotypes D and A. We used 916 HBV-D an...
Mapping the Early Dispersal Patterns of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 Subvariants in the Absence of Travel Restrictions and Testing at the Borders in Europe
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Viruses, Vol 15, Iss 133, p 133 (2022)
Abstract: The circulation of SARS-CoV-2 omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants with enhanced transmissibility and capacity for immune evasion resulted in a recent pandemic wave that began in April–May of 2022. We performed a statistical phylogeographic study that aim...
Global Distribution, Dispersal Patterns, and Trend of Several Omicron Subvariants of SARS-CoV-2 across the Globe
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, Vol 7, Iss 373, p 373 (2022)
Abstract: Our study aims to describe the global distribution and dispersal patterns of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants. Genomic surveillance data were extracted from the CoV-Spectrum platform, searching for BA.1*, BA.2*, BA.3*, BA.4*, and BA.5* variants by ge...
Women in the European Virus Bioinformatics Center
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Viruses, Vol 14, Iss 1522, p 1522 (2022)
Abstract: Viruses are the cause of a considerable burden to human, animal and plant health, while on the other hand playing an important role in regulating entire ecosystems. The power of new sequencing technologies combined with new tools for processing “Big Da...
