In 1998 South Africa experienced a major influenza epidemic that was characterized by extensive illness and an unusually early season. The impact of the epidemic was charted by measuring proxy indexes of influenza activity such as school absenteeism

A panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) mapping to different antigenic sites on the RVFV G 1 and G 2 proteins were used to examine the mechanisms involved in neutralization of the virus. Three types of synergistic neutralization of RVFV were observed

Despite daunting competing health priorities, Africa has made significant progress in polio control. Northern and Southern Africa appear to be polio-free and may shortly be certified as such; however, polio still remains endemic in West and Central A

Summary Influenza A (H3N2) and influenza B viruses isolated recently in South Africa were analysed by partial nucleotide sequencing of the haemagglutinin gene to examine antigenic drift of the isolates relative to the vaccine strains. The genomic ana

Africa possesses little capacity for influenza surveillance-Senegal and South Africa being the only countries in the WHO African region who regularly pursue active surveillance and characterize influenza isolates. South Africa has three sites-in Cape

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is probably the most common agent of prenatal infection of the newborn, and one of 20 congenitally infected newborns shows serious symptoms. It was therefore considered important to be able to differentiate primary CMV from reac

A panel of 17 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to the G1 and G2 envelope glycoproteins of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus were used to analyze the topography and functional properties of the viral antigenic sites. Four heterogeneous antigenic regions which

The antigenic interrelationship between 52 Madagascan West Nile isolates and two prototype viruses (Eg101 and G2266) was assessed by an immunofluorescent technique using monoclonal antibodies. This analysis enabled us to define 5 groups of variants,

Rotaviruses displaying an RNA profile different from other human rotaviruses were detected in stools from six healthy neonates. These viruses shared the common group A antigen, unlike most other atypical human rotavirus electropherotypes described to
