characterization of leptospira interrogans serovars by polymorphism variable number tandem repeat analysis
background leptospirosis is recognized as a re-emerging infectious disease; therefore, understanding the epidemiology of the disease is vital for designing intervention programs and diminishing its transmission. recently, multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis (mlva) is used for segregating and identifying leptospira serovars. the method has potential application in investigating the...

متن کاملIdentification of variable-number tandem-repeat loci in Leptospira interrogans sensu stricto.
Leptospira interrogans sensu stricto is responsible for the most frequent and severe cases of human leptospirosis. The epidemiology and clinical features of leptospirosis are usually associated with the serovars and serogroups of Leptospira. Because of the difficulties associated with serological identification of Leptospira strains, we evaluated a novel PCR-based method for typing L. interroga...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the lipL41 gene of Leptospira interrogans vaccinal serovars in Iran
Leptospirosis caused by infection with pathogenic leptospires, which is the most prevalent zoonotic disease in the world. The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of pathogenic leptospires such as LipL41 play a crucial role in pathogenesis of this disease. Therefore a major challenge to develop an effective vaccine against leptospirosis is application of basic research on the OMPs of leptospires to i...
متن کاملCarrier detection of phenylketonuria in Iranian families by variable number tandem-repeat polymorphism analysis.
This study of Iranian families assessed the usefulness of carrier detection of phenylketonuria by variable number tandem-repeat (VNTR) polymorphism analysis. We studied 171 people (45 unrelated PKU subjects, and their parents and unaffected siblings). Of 342 chromosomes (131 non-PKU and 211 PKU), 5 VNTR alleles were identified. This VNTR system would yield a polymorphism information content of ...
