| group a rotavirus in sewage samples from barcelona and cairo: emergence of unusual genotypes. | the presence of rotavirus strains in sewage samples from cairo, egypt (november 1998 to october 1999), and barcelona, spain (november 1998 to december 2002), was investigated by using a generic molecular detection method based on amplification of a vp6 gene fragment. overall, 85.7 and 66.9% of the sewage samples from cairo and barcelona, respectively, were positive. positive samples were characterized further, and vp7 and vp4 genotypes were determined. although 30% of the positive samples from c ... | 2003 | 12839761 |
| predominance and circulation of enteric viruses in the region of greater cairo, egypt. | the circulation of enteric viruses among the population of cairo, egypt, between march 2006 and february 2007 was studied. at least one virus was detected in 50% of fecal samples, 57.4% of which were positive for rotavirus, 26% for norovirus, 10.4% for adenovirus, and 1.7% for astrovirus. over 10% of infections were mixed infections. rotavirus typing showed that g1p[8] and g2p[4] were predominant but that the unusual g12p[4] and g12p[6] reassortants were also present. among the noroviruses, half ... | 2009 | 19193841 |
