| virome diversity analysis reveals novel enteroviruses and a human picobirnavirus in stool samples from african green monkeys with diarrhea. | it is important to identify viruses in animals because most infectious diseases in humans are caused by viruses of zoonotic origin. african green monkey is a widely used non-human primate model in biomedical investigations. in this study, total rnas were extracted from stool samples of 10 african green monkeys with diarrhea. high-throughput sequencing was used to characterize viromes. pcr and sanger sequencing were used to determine the full genome sequences. great viral diversity was observed. ... | 2020 | 32165243 |
| natural infection of free-ranging mandrills (mandrillus sphinx) by enteroviruses and astroviruses in southern gabon. | enteroviruses (picornaviridae) and astroviruses (astroviridae) cause various diseases in humans and animals, including in non-human primates (nhps). some enteroviruses and astroviruses detected in nhps are genetically related to those infecting humans, indicating the occurrence of interspecies transmissions. in this study, we screened 200 fecal samples of 56 free-ranging mandrills (mandrillus sphinx) by nested reverse transcription-pcr with primers targeting the vp1 and rdrp genes, to evaluate t ... | 2020 | 33249166 |
