Item Cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Volta district of Ghana: An uncertain reservoir for focal disease outbreak(The Libyan Journal of Infectious Diseases 2(1): 26-30, 2008) Raczniak, G.; Wilson, M.; Villinski, J.T.; Puplampu, N.; Mechta, S.; Klena, J.D.; Felt, S.; Abbassy, M.; Hanafi, H.; Hoel, D.F.; Boakye, D.A.Item Evidence for a new species of Leishmania associated with a focal disease outbreak in Ghana(Diagnostics Microbiology and Infectious Diseases 60(3): 323-7, 2008) Villinski, J.T.; Klena, J.D.; Abbassy, M.; Hoel, D.F; Puplampu, N.; Mechta, S.; Boakye, D.; Raczniak, G.A previously unknown Leishmania spp., inferred by DNA sequence analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1), was detected in tissue biopsies from patients living in the Eastern Ghanaian community of Taviefe. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the ITS1 amplicon supports the possibility of an uncharacterized Leishmania spp.Item New Lineage of Lassa Virus, Togo, 2016(Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018-02) Whitmer, S.L.M.; Strecker, T.; Cadar, D.; Dienes, H.P.; Faber, K.; Patel, K.; Brown, S.M.; Davis, W.G.; Klena, J.D.; Rollin, P.E.; Schmidt-Chanasit, J.et.al.We describe a strain of Lassa virus representing a putative new lineage that was isolated from a cluster of human infections with an epidemiologic link to Togo. This finding extends the known range of Lassa virus to Togo.Item Short report: ITS-1 DNA sequence confirmation of leishmania major as a cause of cutaneous leishmaniasis from an outbreak focus in the Ho district, southeastern Ghana.(2006) Fryauff, D.J.; Hanafi, H.A.; Klena, J.D.; Hoel, D.F.; Appawu, M.; Rogers, W.; Puplampu, N.; Odoom, S.; Kweku, M.; Koram, K.A.; Wilson, M.D.; Raczniak, G.; Boakye, D.
