Emerg Infect Dis . 2021 May; 27(6):1637-1644. PMID: 34013878
Dengue control approaches are best informed by granular spatial epidemiology of these viruses, yet reconstruction of inter- and intra-household transmissions is limited when analyzing case count, serologic, or genomic consensus...

Science . 2017 Mar; 355(6331):1302-1306. PMID: 28336667
A fundamental mystery for dengue and other infectious pathogens is how observed patterns of cases relate to actual chains of individual transmission events. These pathways are intimately tied to the...

Berry I, Melendrez M, Li T, Hawksworth A, Brice G, Blair P, et al.
BMC Biol . 2016 Dec; 14(1):117. PMID: 28034300
Background: Increasing evidence suggests that influenza reassortment not only contributes to the emergence of new human pandemics but also plays an important role in seasonal influenza epidemics, disease severity, evolution,...

PLoS One . 2016 Mar; 11(3):e0152529. PMID: 27028323
Little is known about circulation of influenza and other respiratory viruses in remote populations along the Thai-Cambodia border in western Cambodia. We screened 586 outpatients (median age 5, range 1-77)...

Melendrez M, Becraft E, Wood J, Olsen M, Bryant D, Heidelberg J, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2016 Feb; 6:1540. PMID: 26834710
Recent studies of bacterial speciation have claimed to support the biological species concept-that reduced recombination is required for bacterial populations to diverge into species. This conclusion has been reached from...

BMC Bioinformatics . 2015 Dec; 16:416. PMID: 26714571
Background: The detection of pathogens in complex sample backgrounds has been revolutionized by wide access to next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. However, analytical methods to support NGS platforms are not as...

Abstract. Characterization of the 56-kDa type-specific antigen (TSA) genes of Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT) from three naturally infected, laboratory-reared mite colonies comprising three species (Leptotrombidium deliense [Ld], Leptotrombidium imphalum [Li], and...

Previous research has shown that sequences of 16S rRNA genes and 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer regions may not have enough genetic resolution to define all ecologically distinct Synechococcus populations...
