| detection of airborne viruses in a pediatrics department measured using real-time qpcr coupled to an air-sampling filter method. | children are vulnerable to viral infections. the study discussed in this article investigates the possibility of aerosol transmission of viruses in children under age 18 in the pediatrics department of a medical center in taipei, taiwan. after first using the filtration method to collect viral aerosols, the authors combined it with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) to detect influenza a virus (infav), human adenovirus (hadv), and enterovirus. of 33 aerosol samples collected ... | 2010 | 21133312 |
| respiratory adenoviral infections in taiwanese children: a hospital-based study. | adenoviruses are a common etiology of respiratory tract infections in children, with several serotypes responsible for most epidemic respiratory infections. this study examined the molecular epidemiology and clinical features of pediatric adenoviral infections in a 1-year period. | 2009 | 20182665 |
| microbial contaminations of laboratory mice and rats in taiwan from 2004 to 2007. | limited data are available on the pathogen status of contemporary rodent colonies in taiwan. here we summarized the rodent pathogen diagnostic records of the taiwan national laboratory animal center during a 4-y period that representing approximately 10% of the rodent colonies in taiwan. demand for pathogen diagnostic service increased continuously from 2004 to 2007, with a 20% increase each year. in 2007, more than 20% of the mouse colonies were positive for mouse parvovirus, mouse hepatitis vi ... | 2009 | 19653946 |
| serological survey of racing pigeons for selected pathogens in taiwan. | to investigate the pathogens that racing pigeons in taiwan are exposed to, a total of 3764 pigeons from 90 lofts were analysed by collection of blood samples in the period between october 2000 and september 2001. the haemagglutination inhibition (hi) test was performed to detect antibodies against newcastle disease virus (ndv), type 2 avian paramyxovirus (apmv-2), and egg drop syndrome '76 virus (eds-76v). the agar-gel precipitin (agp) test was used to detect antibodies against fowl adenovirus ( ... | 2006 | 16841756 |
| surveillance of respiratory viral infections among pediatric outpatients in northern taiwan. | viruses are a frequent cause of upper respiratory tract infections in children. like taiwan, there were few virological surveillance systems for respiratory viral infections among children in developing countries. | 2004 | 15072759 |
| epidemic keratoconjunctivitis caused by a new genotype of adenovirus type 8 (ad8)-a chronological review of ad8 in southern taiwan. | to understand the pathogenic evolution of viral keratoconjunctivitis in kaohsiung, taiwan, a retrospective molecular and clinical analysis was conducted. | 2001 | 11313048 |
| viral etiology of intussusception in taiwanese childhood. | adenovirus infection and lymphoid hyperplasia have been associated with childhood intussusception. however, the extent of other viruses involved in this condition remains unclear. this prospective study investigates the relationship between some lymphotropic viruses and current childhood intussusception. | 1998 | 9802631 |

| infection of newborn taiwan monkeys (macaca cyclopis) with human adenovirus type 12 and simian virus 40. | for testing biological response of newborn taiwan monkeys to infection of human adenovirus type 12 (ad12) and simian virus 40 (sv40), 40 newborn taiwan monkeys were inoculated with ad12, ad12, plus sv40, ad12 supplemented with ad12-induced hamster tumor tissue (ad12 tumor) or control specimens (hela or african green monkey kidney cell lysate). among them 26 survived including 8 newborn monkeys inoculated with control specimens. the survivors were observed for 4 years but no tumor was produced. t ... | 1975 | 181217 |
| secular trend of genome types of respiratory adenovirus type 3 during 1983-2005: a study from taiwan. | genome type analysis of adenovirus type 3 (ad3) in taiwan identified four types (ad3a, ad3a2, ad3a1, ad3-7) during 1983-2005. ad3a was the major type during 1983-1999, while ad3a2 was the predominant type from 2001 to 2005. phylogenetic analysis of the hexon gene of 23 isolates revealed that most ad3a2 and ad3-7 isolates belonged to one cluster, and most ad3a isolates to the other cluster. the clinical manifestations included respiratory tract infections, acute gastroenteritis, hand-foot-and-mou ... | 2010 | 20033743 |
| enteric adenovirus infection in children in taipei. | enteric adenoviruses (eads), including type 40 (ad40) and 41 (ad41), can cause acute and severe diarrhea in young children. to delineate the epidemiological features of pediatric eads infection in taiwan, we conducted a retrospective study of all cases of eads gastroenteritis in children treated at national taiwan university hospital for the period from july 1993 to december 1997. stool samples were tested for the presence of ad40 or ad41 by enzyme immunoassay (eia). a total of 64 cases of eads ... | 2000 | 11045381 |
