Inferring Numbers of Wild Poliovirus Excretors Using Quantitative Environmental Surveillance Open
Response to and monitoring of viral outbreaks can be efficiently focused when rapid, quantitative, kinetic information provides the location and the number of infected individuals. Environmental surveillance traditionally provides informat…

A method to identify respiratory virus infections in clinical samples using next-generation sequencing Open
Respiratory virus infections are very common. Such infections impose an enormous economic burden and occasionally lead to death. Furthermore, every few decades, respiratory virus pandemics emerge, putting the entire world population at ris…

Comparison between next‐generation and Sanger‐based sequencing for the detection of transmitted drug‐resistance mutations among recently infected HIV‐1 patients in Israel, 2000–2014 Open
Introduction : Transmitted drug‐resistance mutations (TDRM) may hamper successful anti‐HIV‐1 therapy and impact future control of the HIV‐1 epidemic. Recently infected, therapy‐naïve individuals are best suited for surveillance of such TDR…

Evidence for Hepatitis A virus endemic circulation in Israel despite universal toddlers' vaccination since 1999 and low clinical incidence in all age groups Open
Despite the UTV success, HAV circulation in the Israeli population continues, apparently due to its close contacts with the endemic Palestinian population. Reassessment of vaccination policy is recommended.

Hepatitis E Virus Genotype 3 in Sewage and Genotype 1 in Acute Hepatitis Cases, Israel Open
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging infectious agent in developed countries. HEV genotypes 1 (G1) and 3 (G3) have been identified in environmental and clinical samples in Europe. In Israel, the overall prevalence of anti-HEV IgG antibod…

Mutation patterns in LPV/r failing C patients from Israel and South Africa. Open
The table lists all mutation patterns that appeared more than once in the combined dataset of 101 samples, 55 from South Africa (van Zyl et al.[33]) and 46 from Israel (this study). Fifty nine samples (58% of total) included 16 patterns. T…

Prevalence of Hepatitis E Virus Antibodies, Israel, 2009–2010 Open
We investigated prevalence of hepatitis E virus in a sample of the population of Israel. The overall seroprevalence of antibodies to the virus was 10.6% (95% CI 8.4%-13.0%); age-adjusted prevalence was 7.6%. Seropositivity was associated w…
