| phylogenetic analysis of a human group b rotavirus wh-1 detected in china in 2002. | a human group b rotavirus strain wh-1 was detected in an adult sporadic case of diarrhea in wuhan, china in 2002. in this study, the gene sequences of wh-1 were determined in order to examine the phylogenetic relatedness to other human group b rotaviruses found previously in china (adrv, in 1982), india (cal-1, in 1998), and bangladesh (bang373, in 2000), as well as animal viruses, and to estimate the mutation rate of group b rotavirus. vp7 (major outer capsid protein) gene of wh-1 showed extrem ... | 2004 | 15484272 |
| serological and genomic characterization of human rotaviruses detected in china. | a total of 1,385 stool specimens were collected from children with diarrhea at two hospitals in wuhan, hubei province, china, in 1994 and 1995, and screened for rotavirus by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of viral rna. group a rotavirus was detected with high frequency; 56.5% (87/154) and 40.8% (502/1,231) of the specimens collected in 1994 and 1995, respectively, were positive for rotavirus. assignment of g serotype and p type (vp4 genotype) of group a rotavirus by elisa with monoclonal ant ... | 1998 | 9598939 |
| seroepidemiology of adult diarrhea rotavirus in china, 1977 to 1987. | in 1982, large outbreaks of diarrhea that were caused by group b adult diarrhea rotavirus (adrv) occurred throughout the people's republic of china. until 1982, group b rotavirus had never been associated with disease in humans. to determine whether adrv was a new virus introduced in 1982 or had been present before that time, we examined antibody titers of adrv in gamma globulin (pooled immunoglobulin) pools that were prepared during 1977 to 1987 in four cities in the people's republic of china ... | 1989 | 2479654 |
