phylogenetically different strains of a variant of coxsackievirus a 24 were repeatedly introduced but discontinued circulating in japan. | variations in the nucleotide sequence of 3 c proteinase of coxsackievirus a 24 variant (ca 24 v) were analyzed to define the route of transmission and spread of the virus which was introduced to japan on three separate occasions, 1985-86, 1988, and 1989. the nucleotide sequences of isolates from the same year's outbreak in japan were identical or closely related, while the isolates from different outbreaks were less closely related to one another than to those from other countries in the same ye ... | 1992 | 1326259 |
serotype-specific antigen elisa for detection of chiba virus in stools. | chiba virus (cv), a norwalk-like virus (nlv), was first identified as a cause of oyster-associated outbreak of gastroenteritis that occurred in chiba prefecture, japan, in 1987. an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), based on hyperimmune antisera to recombinant baculovirus-expressed capsid proteins of cv (rcv), was developed to detect cv antigen in stools. no cross-reactions were observed with other enteric viruses including enteroviruses, rotaviruses, astroviruses, or enteric adenoviruse ... | 2000 | 11002253 |
