Detection of Co-infections through Multiplex Assay Design

“Detection and differentiation of respiratory viral pathogens using near real-time sequencing” is the title of the London Calling 2023 session by Lukasz Rabalski from the University of Gdansk & Military Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Poland. Rabalski is interested in co-infections and their prevalence and clinical impact. Co-infections can increase the severity of diseases […]

Malaria Surveillance with Nanopore Sequencing

We are at the beach! What a week! Tonight I watched William Hamilton from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK speak at London Calling 2023 on “Nanopore sequencing for real-time genomic surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum.” They are applying Nanopore sequencing to surveillance of malaria, assay development in Ghana, and training. Hamilton described malaria as […]

Sequencing of HCV for Identification of Resistance Mutations

Kame A. Galan-Huerta from the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon in Mexico presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 a ten minute session entitled “Identification of resistance mutations to direct-acting antiviral agents against HCV in infected subjects in Mexico.” They spoke about adapting protocols to detect the RNA positive sense hepatitis C virus. Glan-Huerta explained […]
