1. Molecular detection of <em>Setaria tundra</em> (Nematoda: Filarioidea) and an unidentified filarial species in mosquitoes in Germany (Publications)

   Molecular detection of <em>Setaria tundra</em> (Nematoda: Filarioidea) and an unidentified filarial species in mosquitoes in Germany

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the potential vector role of Culicidae mosquitoes in Germany is very scanty, and until recently it was generally assumed that they are not involved in the transmission of anth

2. Stable transmission of <em>Dirofilaria </em>repens nematodes, northern Germany (Publications)

   Stable transmission of <em>Dirofilaria </em>repens nematodes, northern Germany

3. Fluorescent<em> in situ</em> hybridization of pre-incubated blood culture material for the rapid diagnosis of histoplasmosis (Publications)

   Fluorescent<em> in situ</em> hybridization of pre-incubated blood culture material for the rapid diagnosis of histoplasmosis

   Relevance:

   Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been shown to be useful for the detection of Candida and Cryptococcus species in blood culture materials. FISH procedures for the detection of Histoplasma

4. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based identification of bacteria in automatically incubated blood culture materials from tropical sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)

   16S rRNA gene sequence-based identification of bacteria in automatically incubated blood culture materials from tropical sub-Saharan Africa

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: The quality of microbiological diagnostic procedures depends on pre-analytic conditions. We compared the results of 16S rRNA gene PCR and sequencing from automatically incubated blood cult

5. Rapid identification of <em>Leishmania</em> spp. in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridization (Publications)

   Rapid identification of <em>Leishmania</em> spp. in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridization

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVE: To describe and validate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), a new method of Leishmania spp. identification. FISH allows for a rapid detection of target organisms by specific binding

6. Increased detection of invasive enteropathogenic bacteria in pre-incubated blood culture materials by real-time PCR in comparison with automated... (Publications)

   Increased detection of invasive enteropathogenic bacteria in pre-incubated blood culture materials by real-time PCR in comparison with automated incubation in sub-Saharan Africa

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Invasive enteropathogenic bacteria can cause systemic infections. Data from studies with PCR detection suggest, at least for Salmonella enterica, that blood culture may lead to underestima

7. Tick (<em>Amblyomma chabaudi</em>) infestation of endemic tortoises in southwest Madagascar and investigation of tick-borne pathogens (Publications)

   Tick (<em>Amblyomma chabaudi</em>) infestation of endemic tortoises in southwest Madagascar and investigation of tick-borne pathogens

   Relevance:

   Little is known about the role of endemic ticks as vectors for bacterial and protozoan pathogens for animals and humans in Madagascar and their interaction in anthropogenic habitats where humans, thei

   Evaluation of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) for the detection of fungi directly from blood cultures and cerebrospinal fluid from patients with suspected invasive mycoses

   Relevance:

   The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of in-house FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridisation) procedures for the direct identification of invasive fungal infections in blood c

    Characterization of <em>Salmonella</em> enterica from invasive bloodstream infections and water sources in rural Ghana

    Relevance:

    BACKGROUND: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) cause the majority of bloodstream infections in Ghana, however the mode of transmission and source of invasive NTS in Africa are poorly understood. This stud
