| molecular detection and genetic variability of human metapneumovirus in uruguay. | human metapneumovirus (hmpv) has been described as circulating among the uruguayan population at least since 1998 based on serologic evidence. however, no isolation attempts, molecular detection, or genetic studies have been carried out so far in the country. in the present study, molecular detection of circulating hmpv in children hospitalized with acute respiratory tract infection in montevideo-uruguay was carried out by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) amplification of ... | 2010 | 20336730 |
| molecular epidemiology of human respiratory syncytial virus in uruguay: 1985-2001--a review. | the variability of the g glycoprotein from human respiratory syncytial viruses (hrsv) (groups a and b) isolated during 17 consecutive epidemics in montevideo, uruguay have been analyzed. several annual epidemics were studied, where strains from groups a and b circulated together throughout the epidemics with predominance of one of them. usually, group a predominates, but in some epidemics group b is more frequently detected. to analyse the antigenic diversity of the strains, extracts of cells in ... | 2005 | 16113858 |
| antigenic and genetic variability of human respiratory syncytial viruses (group a) isolated in uruguay and argentina: 1993-2001. | the antigenic and genetic diversity of g glycoprotein from 25 human respiratory viruses (group a) isolated during nine consecutive epidemics (1993-2001) in montevideo, uruguay, and 7 strains isolated in buenos aires, argentina, in the same period were analyzed. genetic variability was evaluated by partial sequence of the g protein gene. phylogenetic analysis indicated that most uruguayan and argentinean group a isolates clustered into three genotypes: ga5, ga2, and ga1. some strains clustered in ... | 2003 | 12938207 |
