2. Self-medication among Children and Adolescents in Germany: Results of the National Health Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS)

   2009 - Objectives: Despite the widespread use of self-medication among the child population and the potential harm it can do, up-to-date epidemiological data on self-medication are sparse worldwide. This …

3. Vaccination coverage against measles in German-born and foreign-born children and identification of unvaccinated subgroups in Germany

   2009 - Data from the representative German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents were used to identify unvaccinated subgroups that should be targeted by vaccination programmes …

4. Rapid oligonucleotide-based recombineering of the chromosome of Salmonella enterica

   2009 - Recombinant engineering using Red recombinase-based approaches offers efficient and rapid approaches to deletion and modification of genes. Here we describe a novel application of Red recombinant …

5. Novel cytomegaloviruses in free-ranging and captive great apes: phylogenetic evidence for bidirectional horizontal transmission

   2009 - Wild great apes often suffer from diseases of unknown etiology. This is among the causes of population declines. Since human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important pathogen, especially in …

6. Outbreak of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus infection in a group of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

   2009 - Background A severe upper respiratory tract infection occurred in a breeding group of rhesus monkeys housed together in one of six indoor/outdoor corals of the German Primate Center. The clinical …

7. Prevalence and molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among pigs on German farms and import of livestock-related MRSA into hospitals

   2009 - The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among pigs and estimate the impact of this animal reservoir on …

8. Potential determinants of obesity among children and adolescents in Germany: results from the cross-sectional KiGGS Study

   2009 - BACKGROUND: Obesity among children and adolescents is a growing public health problem. The aim of the present paper is to identify potential determinants of obesity and risk groups among 3- to 17-year …

9. Incidence and risk factors for community-acquired acute gastroenteritis in north-west Germany in 2004

   2009 - In developed countries, acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a major source of morbidity. However, only a few studies have estimated its incidence and the associated medical burden. This population-based …

10. Beneficial and detrimental effects of human endogenous retroviruses

    2009 - In this mini review, we aim to evaluate the structure and function of Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) with respect to the benefit they may have for humans or the damage they may cause. Emphasis …

14. Resonance Raman microscopy in combination with partial dark-field microscopy lights up a new path in malaria

    2009 - Our goal is to produce a rapid and accurate diagnostic tool for malaria using resonance Raman spectroscopy to detect small inclusions of haemozoin in Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells. In …

15. Gene Gun-supported DNA Immunisation of Chicken for Straightforward Production of Poxvirus-specific IgY Antibodies

    2009 - Orthopoxviruses code for numerous immunomodulatory proteins, the structure and function of which are clarified inadequately. Antibodies constitute a potent tool to study such proteins, enabling …

16. Development of a live-attenuated influenza B DeltaNS1 intranasal vaccine candidate

    2009 - We discovered a unique, single amino acid mutation in the influenza B M1 protein promoting viral growth of NS1 truncation mutants in Vero cells. Due to this mutation, we were able to generate an …

17. Transcription of the phage-encoded Panton-Valentine leukocidin of Staphylococcus aureus is dependent on the phage life-cycle and on the host background

    2009 - Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a pore-forming, bi-component toxin secreted by Staphylococcus aureus strains epidemiologically associated with diseases such as necrotizing pneumonia and skin and …
