Emergence of new norovirus variants on spring cruise ships and prediction of winter epidemics (2008)

VERHOEF, L, DEPOORTERE, E, BOXMAN, I, DUIZER, E, VAN DUYNHOVEN, Y, HARRIS, J, ...

In June 2006, reported outbreaks of norovirus on cruise ships suddenly increased; 43 outbreaks occurred on 13 vessels. All outbreaks investigated manifested person-to-person transmission. Detection...

Seasonal Growth Rate of the Sponge Haliclona oculata (Demospongiae: Haplosclerida) (2008)

Koopmans, M., Wijffels, R.H.

The interest in sponges has increased rapidly since the discovery of potential new pharmaceutical compounds produced by many sponges. A good method to produce these compounds by using aquaculture of...

Data quality of 5 years of central norovirus outbreak reporting in the European Network for food-borne viruses (2008)

Kroneman, A., Harris, J., Vennema, H., Duizer, E., Van Duynhoven, Y., Gray, J., ...

Background The food-borne viruses in Europe (FBVE) network database was established in 1999 to monitor trends in outbreaks of gastroenteritis due to noroviruses (NoVs), to identify major transmission...

Detecting emerging transmissibility of avian influenza virus in human households (2007)

Boven, M. Van, Koopmans, M., Meijer, Adam, Klinkenberg, D., Donnelly, C.A., ...

Accumulating infections of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in humans underlines the need to track the ability of these viruses to spread among humans. A human-transmissible avian influenza...

Detecting emerging transmissibility of avian influenza virus in human households (2007)

Koopmans, M., Meijer, A., Klinkenberg, D., Donnelly, C., ...

Accumulating infections of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in humans underlines the need to track the ability of these viruses to spread among humans. A human-transmissible avian influenza...

Chimerism in systemic lupus erythematosus--three hypotheses (2007)

Koopmans, M., De Heer, E., Bruijn, J. A., Bajema, I. M.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an immune-mediated disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies and a wide array of clinical symptoms. Despite intensive research, the aetiology of...

Avian influenza A virus (H7N7) associated with human conjunctivitis and a fatal case of acute respiratory distress syndrome. (2004)

Fouchier, R.A.M., Schneeberger, P.M., Rozendaal, F.W., Broekman, J.M., Kemink, S.A.G., Munnster, V., ...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A viruses of subtypes H5 and H7 are the causative agents of fowl plague in poultry. Influenza A viruses of subtype H5N1 also caused severe respiratory disease in...

Structural characterization, occurrence and fate of archaeal ether-bound acyclic and cyclic biphytanes and corresponding diols in sediments (1998)

Sinninghe Damsté, J.S., Schouten, S., Hoefs, M.J.L., Koopmans, M.

Acyclic and cyclic biphytane carbon skeletons derived from planktonic archaea have been investigated in a number of marine and lacustrine sediments. With the exception of a tricyclic biphytane, the...

Sulphurisation of homohopanoids: Effects on carbon number distribution, speciation and 22S/22R epimer ratios (1997)

Sinninghe Damsté, J.S., Koster, J., Koopmans, M.

Sulphurisation has been recognised as the most important diagenetic pathway acting on hopanoids in the organic-rich limestones, marlstone, and dolomite investigated. The qualitative and quantitative...

Nonradioactive PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method for detection of human cytomegalovirus DNA.

Allen, R D, Pellett, P E, Stewart, J A, Koopmans, M

We developed a rapid, sensitive, and specific PCR-based assay for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The assay includes primer and probe sequences derived from conserved HCMV nucleotide sequences and...

Subgenomic RNA sequence of human astrovirus supports classification of Astroviridae as a new family of RNA viruses.

Monroe, S S, Jiang, B, Stine, S E, Koopmans, M, Glass, R I

We report the sequence of the subgenomic RNA of human astrovirus serotype 2. This 2,484-nucleotide RNA contains a single open reading frame, which encodes a protein with a predicted molecular mass of...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reactivity of torovirus-like particles in fecal specimens from humans with diarrhea.

Koopmans, M, Petric, M, Glass, R I, Monroe, S S

Toroviruses are recognized enteric pathogens of cattle and horses; in humans, similar pleomorphic particles have been described, but doubt has been raised concerning their identity as viruses. We...

cDNA probes for the diagnosis of bovine torovirus (Breda virus) infection.

Koopmans, M, Snijder, E J, Horzinek, M C

A genomic cDNA library of RNA from Breda virus (BRV), a bovine torovirus, was prepared. The nucleotide sequence of the 3' end of the genome was found to be highly conserved (93% identical) between...

Analysis of Integrated Virological and Epidemiological Reports of Norovirus Outbreaks Collected within the Foodborne Viruses in Europe Network from 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2006▿

Kroneman, A., Verhoef, L., Harris, J., Vennema, H., Duizer, E., Van Duynhoven, Y., ...

The Foodborne Viruses in Europe network has developed integrated epidemiological and virological outbreak reporting with aggregation and sharing of data through a joint database. We analyzed data...
