molecular epidemiology of human adenoviruses d associated with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis in osaka, japan, 2001-2010.	isolation of novel types of human adenovirus d (hadv-53, -54, and -56) from keratoconjunctivitis patients has been reported since 2008. we examined the molecular epidemiology of hadv-d strains using 39 field isolates collected from epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (ekc) patients from 2001 to 2010 in the province of osaka, japan. the molecular types were analyzed by sequencing partial penton base gene, loop 1 in the hexon, and complete fiber genes. of the 39 isolates, the majority were hadv-19 (14/3 ...	2013	24047746
associations between co-detected respiratory viruses in children with acute respiratory infections.	viruses are the major etiological agents of acute respiratory infections (aris) in young children. although respiratory virus co-detections are common, analysis of combinations of co-detected viruses has never been conducted in japan. nineteen respiratory viruses or subtypes were surveyed using multiplex real-time pcr on 1,044 pediatric (patient age < 6 years) ari specimens collected in osaka city, japan between january 2010 and december 2011. in total, 891 specimens (85.3%) were virus positive ...	2014	25410563
surveillance of adenovirus respiratory infections in children from osaka, japan.	human adenovirus (hadv) strains isolated from respiratory specimens of 139 children were analyzed to evaluate the endemic situation of hadv infections in osaka, japan, between 2008 and 2015. the cases increased during spring and winter, and the infections were confirmed mainly in children aged ≤ 5 years, comprising 91.9% of the total population examined. molecular typing of the isolates revealed that the most common types belonged to hadv-b and -c. co-infection of hadv-c1 and -c2 was also confir ...	2017	28890507
