| group a rotaviruses in chinese bats: genetic composition, serology, and evidence for bat-to-human transmission and reassortment. | bats are natural reservoirs for many pathogenic viruses, and increasing evidence supports the notion that bats can also harbor group a rotaviruses (rvas), important causative agents of diarrhea in children and young animals. currently, 8 rva strains possessing completely novel genotype constellations or genotypes possibly originating from other mammals have been identified from african and chinese bats. however, all the data were mainly based on detection of rva rna, present only during acute in ... | 2017 | 28381569 |
| emergence and localized circulation of a vaccine-derived poliovirus in an isolated mountain community in guangxi, china. | from march to may 2006, type 1 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cvdpv) was isolated from one case patient with acute flaccid paralysis (afp) and six unimmunized healthy contacts in isolated mountain villages in guangxi, china. we conducted epidemiological investigations in the affected communities and nucleotide sequence analyses of the cvdpv isolates. the results of the investigations showed that the afp patient, an unimmunized 10-year-old boy, and five laboratory-confirmed contacts live ... | 2010 | 20631095 |
