| Analysis of enterovirus and adenovirus presence in swimming pools in Cyprus from 2007-2008. | An analysis was carried out to determine the presence of enteroviruses and adenoviruses in public swimming pools in Cyprus. The effectiveness of the commonly implemented disinfection procedure of chlorination was confirmed by determination of bacteriological markers. Analysis of viral presence was carried out by sampling random swimming pools from the five major cities in Cyprus during a period of 21 months spanning from April 2007 to December 2008. A 10 I sample was taken from each swimming poo ... | 2011 | 22049764 |
| circulation of enteroviruses in cyprus assessed by molecular analysis of clinical specimens and sewage isolates. | aims: to study the circulation of non-polio enteroviruses in the cypriot population and assess the clinical relevance of different serotypes by analysis of clinical specimens and environmental samples. methods and results: sewage samples were collected on a monthly basis between for two years from all five districts of cyprus. enteroviruses were isolated with the viraden method and typed by partial vp1 region sequencing. in addition, all enterovirus-positive clinical samples received during th ... | 2011 | 21615636 |
| molecular typing and epidemiology of enteroviruses in cyprus, 2003-2007. | human enteroviruses (hevs) are responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical diseases. even though usually associated with non-specific febrile illness, they are the most common cause of viral meningitis, pose a serious public health problem, especially during outbreaks. rapid detection and identification of hev serotypes, in clinical specimens is important in appropriate patients management and epidemiological investigation. a 5-year study (2003-2007) of clinical specimens from patients with vira ... | 2011 | 21596905 |
| molecular typing of enteroviruses associated with viral meningitis in cyprus, 2000-2002. | human enteroviruses are responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical diseases affecting many different organ systems. although infection is usually asymptomatic, infections of the central nervous system manifested as meningitis or encephalitis can pose a serious public health problem, especially during outbreaks. in this study, samples from 218 patients diagnosed with enteroviral meningitis between january 2000 and december 2002 were analysed in order to assess the epidemiology of human enterovir ... | 2006 | 16849723 |
