| prevalence and partial sequence analysis of human t cell lymphotropic virus type i in china. | a total of 145,293 serum samples were collected from volunteer blood donors in 13 provinces of china and tested for anti-htlv antibody using an elisa licensed in china. thirty were positive for anti-htlv by elisa and 19 of those 30 samples were confirmed positive using a supplemental immunoblot assay. anti-htlv-i was detected only in samples from fujian province (a southern province) where the positivity rate was approximately 0.05%. the region encoding gp46 from 5 of the 19 antibody positive sa ... | 2005 | 15977241 |
| herpes simplex virus 2 infection in women attending an antenatal clinic in fuzhou, china. | genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus (hsv) infection is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections (stis) and the most common cause of genital ulcer disease (gud) in developed and developing countries. the monitoring of hsv-2 seroprevalence in pregnant women can identify women at a higher risk of hiv and of neonatal hsv transmission. very few data are available on type specific seroprevalence of hsv-2 in china, with only one previous study from southern china. consequentl ... | 2007 | 17475682 |
| construction and characterization of a full-length infectious clone from a fast-replicating, x4-tropic hiv-1 subtype b' isolate. | in hiv-1 epidemics in china, hiv-1 subtype b' is the most predominant subtype circulating in intravenous drug users. in this study, we constructed an hiv-1 full-length infectious molecular clone based on the primary virus lwj, which was isolated from an hiv-infected patient in fujian province, china. phylogenetic and bootscanning analysis of the viral sequence revealed that the isolate lwj belonged to hiv-1 subtype b'. the infectious clone was designated as "plwj". the virus (lwj-c) produced fro ... | 2010 | 20697919 |
