| molecular epidemiology of hiv type 1 in newly diagnosed patients in southern spain. | the prevalence of different hiv-1 subtypes in spain varies by geographic region. in the present study isolates were collected from 72 newly diagnosed individuals in western andalucia from 2004 to 2006. viral sequences were amplified and the subtype diversity and prevalence of resistance mutations in the reverse transcriptase and protease genes were determined. the results presented here demonstrate that subtype b virus predominates in this region (88.9%), with the non-b subtypes crf02_ag (9.7%) ... | 2008 | 18572440 |
| geographical variation in serological responses to recombinant pneumocystis jirovecii major surface glycoprotein antigens. | the use of recombinant fragments of the major surface glycoprotein (msg) of pneumocystis jirovecii has proven useful for studying serological immune responses of blood donors and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-positive (hiv(+)) patients. here, we have used elisa to measure antibody titres to msg fragments (msga, msgb, msgc1, msgc3, msgc8 and msgc9) in sera isolated in the usa (n=200) and spain (n=326), to determine whether geographical location affects serological responses to these antigens ... | 2009 | 19416292 |
