| diabetes and enterovirus autoimmunity in glacial europe. | the incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (iddm), a chronic disease with a well-known genetic basis, is highest in scandinavian and sardinian populations. the high incidence of iddm in scandinavia and sardinia, which were genetically isolated from the spread of agriculturists in europe about 8000 years ago, suggests that an iddm-susceptible genotype(s) may have been beneficial in europe more than 8000 years ago. in glacial times, europe had an extremely cold climate that was frequentl ... | 1999 | 10416950 |
| a molecular method for the recovery and identification of enteric virus in shellfish. | in this paper we report the results of an investigation into the presence of enteric viruses in shellfish from the waters around sardinia. twenty two samples of shellfish were examined using a rapid and sensitive technique to concentrate and detect viral rna in shellfish tissues. after recovery of viral particles, rna was extracted, transcribed into cdna and amplified using "nested pcr". testing with enterovirus-specific rt-pcr produced positive results in over 13% of specimens. the virus detect ... | 2003 | 12737197 |
