Assessment of Recent HIV-1 Infection by a Line Immunoassay for HIV-1/2 Confirmation (2007)

Jörg Schüpbach, Martin D. Gebhardt, Zuzana Tomasik, Christoph Niederhauser, Sabine Yerly, Philippe Bürgisser, ...

BackgroundKnowledge of the number of recent HIV infections is important for epidemiologic surveillance. Over the past decade approaches have been developed to estimate this number by testing...

The Role of In Vitro-Induced Lymphocyte Apoptosis in Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: Correlation with Different Markers of Disease Progression

Holznagel, Edgar, Hofmann-Lehmann, Regina, Leutenegger, Christian M., Allenspach, Karin, Huettner, Silke, Forster, Ursula, ...

Human immunodeficiency virus infection is characterized by a progressive decline in the number of peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocytes, which finally leads to AIDS. This T-cell decline correlates with...

Identification and Characterization of Two Closely Related Unclassifiable Endogenous Retroviruses in Pythons (Python molurus and Python curtus)

Huder, Jon B., Böni, Jürg, Hatt, Jean-Michel, Soldati, Guido, Lutz, Hans, Schüpbach, Jörg

Boid inclusion body disease (BIBD) is a fatal disorder of boid snakes that is suspected to be caused by a retrovirus. In order to identify this agent, leukocyte cultures (established from Python...

Direct Evidence for Natural Transmission of Small-Ruminant Lentiviruses of Subtype A4 from Goats to Sheep and Vice Versa

Shah, Cyril, Huder, Jon B., Böni, Jürg, Schönmann, Marietta, Mühlherr, Janine, Lutz, Hans, ...

Small-ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV), which include the caprine arthritis-encephalitis and the maedi-visna virus, cause persistent inflammatory infections in goats and sheep. SRLV are mainly...

Concurrent Infections with Vector-Borne Pathogens Associated with Fatal Hemolytic Anemia in a Cattle Herd in Switzerland

Hofmann-Lehmann, Regina, Meli, Marina L., Dreher, Ute M., Gönczi, Enikö, Deplazes, Peter, Braun, Ueli, ...

Bovine anaplasmosis is a vector-borne disease that results in substantial economic losses in other parts of the world but so far not in northern Europe. In August 2002, a fatal disease outbreak was...

Assessment of Recent HIV-1 Infection by a Line Immunoassay for HIV-1/2 Confirmation

Schüpbach, Jörg, Gebhardt, Martin D, Tomasik, Zuzana, Niederhauser, Christoph, Yerly, Sabine, Bürgisser, Philippe, ...

Jörg Schüpbach and colleagues show that a second-generation Western blot antibody test used to confirm HIV infection can also be used to determine rates of recent HIV infection.
