Ten of these laboratories are participating in the {EU-MenNet} program (a European Union-funded program) and are members of the European Monitoring Group on Meningococci. The remaining laboratory was located in Burkina Faso. Neisseria meningitidis was sought by detecting several meningococcus-specific genes {(crgA}, {ctrA}, {16S} {rRNA}, and {porA).} The {PCR-based} nonculture method for the detection of N. meningitidis gave similar results between participants with a mean sensitivity and specificity of 89.7 and 92.7\%, respectively. Most of the laboratories also performed genogrouping assays {(siaD} and {mynB/sacC).} The performance of genogrouping was more variable between laboratories, with a mean sensitivity of 72.7\%. Genogroup B gave the best correlation between participants, as all laboratories routinely perform this {PCR.} The results for genogroups A and W135 were less similar between the eight participating laboratories that performed these {PCRs.}Fri Mar 11 10:05:34 CET 2011J. Clin. Microbiol.mar31083--1084Neisseria meningitidis Serogroups W135 and A Were Equally Prevalent among Meningitis Cases Occurring at the End of the 2001 Epidemics in Burkina Faso and Niger402002imported Meningococcal infections occur as epidemics in the African meningitis belt. Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A is predominantly involved in these epidemics. We report here new data on the involvement of both serogroups A and W135 in meningitis cases in Burkina Faso and Niger at the end of the 2001 epidemic.Fri Mar 11 10:05:34 CET 2011Microbes and Infection / Institut Pasteurapr{PMID:} 158235124645--649The establishment of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W135 of the clonal complex {ET-37/ST-11} as an epidemic clone and the persistence of serogroup A isolates in Burkina Faso72005Adolescent, Bacterial Burkina Child, Communicable Diseases, Emerging, Epidemiology, Faso, Female, Genotype, Humans, Infant, Male, Meningitis, Meningococcal, Molecular, Neisseria Phenotype, Population Preschool, Prospective Serogroup Studies Surveillance, Techniques, Typing W-135, meningitidis, We analyzed 48 invasive isolates of Neisseria meningitidis that were isolated from meningitis cases in Burkina Faso {(April} 2002 to April 2003). Thirty-nine of these isolates had the phenotype (serogroup:serotype:serosubtype) {W135:2a:P1.5,2,} eight isolates were {A:4:P1.9} and one isolate was nongroupable:nonserotypable:nonserosubtypable. Genotyping of meningococcal isolates showed that W135 isolates belonged to the sequence type {(ST)-11.} The nongroupable isolate was of genogroup W135 and belonged to {ST-192.} Isolates of serogroup A belonged to {ST-2859} (a member of the subgroup {III/ST-5} clonal complex). W135 {(ST-11)} isolates involved in meningitis outbreaks in Burkina Faso differed from those involved in the Hajj-2000 associated outbreak by their pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profile. These data confirm the changing epidemiology of meningococcal infection in Burkina Faso with the establishment and expansion of serogroup W135 N. meningitidis strains of the {ET-37/ST-11} clonal complex, as well as the emergence of a new clone within the subgroup {III/ST-5} clonal complex.Tue Mar 16 00:00:00 CET 2010TAMODIAconf/tamodia/2009117-130Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceFormally Expressing the Users' Objects World in Task Models.59632009dblp Thu Oct 23 00:00:00 CEST 2008TAMODIA/HCSEconf/tamodia/200814-28Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceAssessment of Object Use for Task Modeling.52472008dblp Tue Jun 17 00:00:00 CEST 2008IHMconf/ihm/2006265-268ACM International Conference Proceeding SeriesComparaison de deux méthodes pour implémenter la programmation sur exemple.1332006dblp Fri Sep 19 00:00:00 CEST 2003APSECconf/apsec/1997220-228A Reverse Engineering Method and Experiences for Industrial COBOL System.1997dblp Tue Aug 13 00:00:00 CEST 2002ICTAI44-53A Hybrid/Symbolic Connectionist Production System.1992dblp
