environmental surveillance of enterovirus in northern india using an integrated shell vial culture with a semi-nested rt pcr and partial sequencing of the vp1 gene.	enteroviruses have been reported in epidemic form during last 10 years in northern india. environmental surveillance of sewage is the method of choice in limited resources countries for detection of enterovirus serotypes circulating in the community. twenty-four sewage samples collected between january, 2009 and december, 2010 were tested for enterovirus by using a new modified integrated shell vial culture (isvc) with a semi-nested rt-pcr of a partial vp1 gene and virus isolation integrated wit ...	2013	23341372
the golgi protein acbd3, an interactor for poliovirus protein 3a, modulates poliovirus replication.	we have shown that the circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses responsible for poliomyelitis outbreaks in madagascar have recombinant genomes composed of sequences encoding capsid proteins derived from poliovaccine sabin, mostly type 2 (pvs2), and sequences encoding nonstructural proteins derived from other human enteroviruses. interestingly, almost all of these recombinant genomes encode a nonstructural 3a protein related to that of field coxsackievirus a17 (cv-a17) strains. here, we investiga ...	2013	23926333
new enteroviruses, ev-93 and ev-94, associated with acute flaccid paralysis in the democratic republic of the congo.	surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis often identifies enteroviruses not typeable by virus neutralization in cell culture. during 2000 and 2001, 186 isolates from 138 children with acute flaccid paralysis in the democratic republic of the congo were sent for typing to the national reference centre for enteroviruses in lyon, france. the 5' utr of the viral genome could be amplified by pcr for 158 isolates from 114 patients. isolates from 89 patients were neutralizable, and contained non-polio e ...	2007	17311342
