(2020-04-07)Objective: • To provide recommendations on the management of dead bodies in the context of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in healthcare facilities. These recommendations are preliminary and subject to review as new ... -
Decline in global transmission rates of COVID-19 through May 6 2020
(2020-05-22)We analyzed COVID-19 data through May 6th, 2020 using a partially observed Markov process. Our method uses a hybrid deterministic and stochastic formalism that allows for time variable transmission rates and detection ... -
Decontamination and Reuse of Filtering Facepiece Respirators
(2020-04)Disposable filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) are not approved for routine decontamination and reuse as standard of care. However, FFR decontamination and reuse may need to be considered as a crisis capacity strategy ... -
Decreased mortality associated with respiratory viral infections 3 between December 2019 and March 2020 compared to previous year, Southeast France
(2020-03)We observed 39% less deaths associated with common respiratory viruses during colder months of 2019-2020 compared to 2018-2019. Excess mortality associated with influenza virus infections is estimated to be 5.9 per 100,000 ... -
Decreased mortality in COVID-19 patients treated with Tocilizumab: a rapid systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
(2020-09-23)Background: We systematically reviewed the literature to answer the following research questions: 1) does IL-6 (receptor) antagonist therapy reduce mortality in COVID-19 patients compared to patients not treated with IL-6 ... -
Demand Analysis and Management Suggestion: Sharing Epidemiological Data Among Medical Institutions in Megacities for Epidemic Prevention and Control
(2020-04-07)During the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), epidemiological data is essential for controlling the source of infection, cutting off the route of transmission, and protecting vulnerable populations. Following ... -
Dengue, chikungunya and Zika co-infection in a patient from Colombia
(2016)In Latin America, until 2014, dengue (DENV) was the only virus transmitted significantly by Aedes spp. [1]. Unfortunately since that year, chikungunya (CHIKV) arrived as a relevant secondary arboviral disease, with the ... -
Depression and loneliness during COVID-19 restrictions in the United States, and their associations with frequency of social and sexual
(2020-05-20)To estimate the prevalence of depression and loneliness during the US COVID-19 response, and examine their associations with frequency of social and sexual connections. Methods: We conducted an online cross-sectional survey ... -
A detailed comparative analysis of codon usage bias in Zika virus
(2016)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the family Flaviviridae and its genome consists of a single-stranded positive sense RNA molecule with 10,794 nucleotides. Clinical manifestations of disease caused by ZIKV infection range ... -
Detectable SARS‐CoV‐2 viral RNA in feces of three children during recovery period of COVID‐19 pneumonia
(2020-03-29)Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is a newly emerging infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). After its first occurrence in Wuhan of China from ... -
Detection and sequencing of Zika virus from amniotic fluid of fetuses with microcephaly in Brazil: a case study
(2016-06)Background The incidence of microcephaly in Brazil in 2015 was 20 times higher than in previous years. Congenital microcephaly is associated with genetic factors and several causative agents. Epidemiological data suggest ... -
Detection of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by Real-Time RT-PCR
Background: The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for public health laboratories as virus isolates are unavailable while there is growing evidence that the outbreak ... -
Detection of Autochthonous Zika Virus Transmission in Sincelejo, Colombia
(2016-06)Zika virus is an arthropodborne member of the genus Flavivirus of the Spondweni serocomplex and is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes (primarily Ae. aegypti in urban and periurban cycles). Zika virus emerged in Africa and has ... -
Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA by direct RT-qPCR on nasopharyngeal specimens without extraction of viral RNA
(2020-05-19)To circumvent the limited availability of RNA extraction reagents, we aimed to develop a protocol for direct RT-qPCR to detect SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swabs without RNA extraction. Nasopharyngeal specimens positive ... -
Detection of Virus-specific Antigen in the Nuclei or Nucleoli of Cells Infected with Zika or Langat Viru
(2014)Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with molecular specificities for either the viral envelope glycoprotein (MAb 541) or the non-structural NS1 glycoprotein (MAb 109) were derived using West Nile and yellow fever (YF) viruses ... -
