Molecular Epidemiology of Hantaviruses in the Czech Republic.

ABSTRACT: During 2008-2018, we collected samples from rodents and patients throughout the Czech Republic and characterized hantavirus isolates. We detected Dobrava-Belgrade and Puumala orthohantaviruses in patients and Dobrava-Belgrade, Tula, and Seewis orthohantaviruses in rodents. Increased knowledge of eco-epidemiology of hantaviruses will improve awareness among physicians and better outcomes of patients.

Epidemiology of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in the Czech Republic.

Project description:This study investigated the epidemiology and survival outcomes of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in the Czech Republic, wherein pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) surgery was the only targeted treatment option until 2015. This study included all consecutive adults newly diagnosed with CTEPH in the Czech Republic between 2003 and 2016. Incidence/prevalence rates were calculated using general population data extracted from the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic. Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival from diagnosis until 2018 were calculated. Of a total of 453 patients observed, 236 (52.1%) underwent PEA (median time from diagnosis to PEA: 2.9 months) and 71 (34.1%) had residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) post-PEA. CTEPH incidence rate (95% confidence interval [CI]) between 2006 and 2016 was 4.47 (4.05; 4.91) patients per million (ppm) per year, and the prevalence (95% CI) was 37.43 (33.46; 41.73) ppm in 2016. The rate of CTEPH-related hospitalizations (95% CI) per 100 person-years was 24.4 (22.1; 26.9) for operated patients and 34.2 (30.9; 37.7) for not-operated patients. Median overall survival (95% CI) for all patients from CTEPH diagnosis was 11.2 (9.4; not reached) years. Five-year survival probability (95% CI) was 95.3% (89.9; 97.9) for operated patients without residual PH, 86.3% (75.3; 92.7) for operated patients with residual PH and 61.2% (54.0; 67.6) for not-operated patients. This study reported epidemiological estimates of CTEPH in the Czech Republic consistent with estimates from other national systematic registries; and indicates an unmet medical need in not-operated patients and operated patients with residual PH.

Hepatitis E - epidemiology and clinical course in the largest cohort in the Czech Republic.

Project description:IntroductionThe majority of hepatitis E (HE) reports come from Western Europe. The aim of the study was to describe the typical epidemiological and clinical characteristics of HE in the Czech Republic.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 173 patients with HE.ResultsAt least 90% of cases were autochthonous (HEV-3 genotype). Seventeen patients were treated with ribavirin. Five underwent liver transplants because of fulminant HE. We noted neurological symptomatology in 9 cases. Six patients developed chronic HE.ConclusionsThere is a possibility of severe health complications caused by the hepatitis E virus in the Czech Republic.

Molecular identification of the occurrence of magnetotactic bacteria in fresh water sediments (Czech Republic).

Project description:Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are of considerable interest because of their importance in the manufacture of various bioinspired materials. In order to find out the status of magnetotactic bacteria at three different sediment in Czech Republic, samples collected from both standing and running freshwaters were subjected to molecular diversity analysis by using 16S rRNA gene approach. Total community DNA from sediment sample was isolated and used for PCR, cloning and sequence analysis. Of the 24 analyzed sequences, six clones are closely related to Magnetobacterium sp. affiliated with the Nitrospira phylum which showed the dominance of Magnetobacterium phylotypes in the sample. This study will provide useful insight about the community structure of MTB in this particular geographical region. However more detailed and specific studies are warranted in order to properly assess the community structure of MTB's in fresh water sediments.

Molecular epidemiology of rabies in Southern People's Republic of China.

Project description:In recent years, the number of human rabies cases in the People's Republic of China has increased during severe epidemics in 3 southern provinces (Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan). To analyze the causes of the high incidence of human rabies in this region, during 2005-2007, we collected 2,887 brain specimens from apparently healthy domestic dogs used for meat consumption in restaurants, 4 specimens from suspected rabid dogs, and 3 from humans with rabies in the 3 provinces. Partial nucleoprotein gene sequences were obtained from rabies-positive specimens. Phylogenetic relationships and distribution of viruses were determined. We infer that the spread of rabies viruses from high-incidence regions, particularly by long-distance movement or transprovincial translocation of dogs caused by human-related activities, may be 1 cause of the recent massive human rabies epidemics in southern China.

Tula hantavirus infection in immunocompromised host, Czech Republic.

Project description:We report molecular evidence of Tula hantavirus as an etiologic agent of pulmonary-renal syndrome in an immunocompromised patient. Acute hantavirus infection was confirmed by using serologic and molecular methods. Sequencing revealed Tula virus genome RNA in the patient's blood. This case shows that Tula virus can cause serious disease in humans.

Molecular characterization of serogroup 19 Streptococcus pneumoniae in the Czech Republic in the post-vaccine era.

Project description:Purpose. The aim of this study was to characterize serogroup 19 isolates resistant to macrolides and/or penicillin found among pneumococci recovered from cases of invasive and respiratory tract disease in the Czech Republic in 2014.Methods. Pneumococcal isolates of serotypes 19A (n=26) and 19F (n=10) that were non-susceptible to penicillin and/or macrolides and had been collected in 2014 were analysed using multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). Four isolates representing the major clones were subjected to whole-genome sequencing (WGS).Results. The penicillin-susceptible macrolide-resistant isolates of serotype 19A were mainly associated with sequence type (ST) 416 belonging to clonal complex (CC) 199, and the penicillin-resistant isolates were of serotype 19F belonging to ST1464 (CC 320). WGS revealed the presence of pilus 1, in association with pilus 2, in serotype19F isolates belonging to CC 320. Another adhesin, pneumococcal serine-rich protein (PsrP), was only present in serotype 19A isolates of ST416. Analysis of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of serotype 19F penicillin-resistant isolates (ST1464 and ST271) performed on PBP1a, 2b and 2x identified a large number of mutations in comparison to the reference strain, R6. Both isolates contained a unique PBP profile; however, they were highly similar to PBP sequences of the Taiwan19F-14 reference strain. The Pbp2b sequences of both 19F isolates showed the lowest similarity to those of the Taiwan19F-14 strain (91?% similarity), while they were also found to be distantly related to each other (94?% similarity).Conclusions. WGS revealed specific virulence factors in antibiotic-resistant pneumococcal clones that spread rapidly in the post-vaccine era in the Czech Republic.

Identification of novel Cryptosporidium genotypes from the Czech Republic.

Project description:Isolates of Cryptosporidium from the Czech Republic were characterized from a variety of different hosts using sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the 18S ribosomal DNA and the heat-shock (HSP-70) gene. Analysis expanded the host range of accepted species and identified several novel genotypes, including horse, Eurasian woodcock, rabbit, and cervid genotypes.

Clonal distribution of invasive pneumococci, Czech Republic, 1996-2003.

Project description:We conducted surveillance on invasive pneumococci isolated from adults in the Czech Republic during 1996-2003. The 7 most prevalent serotypes were characterized. Coverage with the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was low. Our observations confirm that detection methods may have modified the expected effect of this vaccine.
