| infection of newborn taiwan monkeys (macaca cyclopis) with human adenovirus type 12 and simian virus 40. | for testing biological response of newborn taiwan monkeys to infection of human adenovirus type 12 (ad12) and simian virus 40 (sv40), 40 newborn taiwan monkeys were inoculated with ad12, ad12, plus sv40, ad12 supplemented with ad12-induced hamster tumor tissue (ad12 tumor) or control specimens (hela or african green monkey kidney cell lysate). among them 26 survived including 8 newborn monkeys inoculated with control specimens. the survivors were observed for 4 years but no tumor was produced. t ... | 1975 | 181217 |

| detection of airborne viruses in a pediatrics department measured using real-time qpcr coupled to an air-sampling filter method. | children are vulnerable to viral infections. the study discussed in this article investigates the possibility of aerosol transmission of viruses in children under age 18 in the pediatrics department of a medical center in taipei, taiwan. after first using the filtration method to collect viral aerosols, the authors combined it with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) to detect influenza a virus (infav), human adenovirus (hadv), and enterovirus. of 33 aerosol samples collected ... | 2010 | 21133312 |
| severe pediatric adenovirus 7 disease in singapore linked to recent outbreaks across asia. | during november 2012-july 2013, a marked increase of adenovirus type 7 (ad7) infections associated with severe disease was documented among pediatric patients in singapore. phylogenetic analysis revealed close genetic links with severe ad7 outbreaks in china, taiwan, and other parts of asia. | 2015 | 26079293 |
| molecular epidemiology and phylogenetic analysis of human adenovirus caused an outbreak in taiwan during 2011. | an outbreak of adenovirus has been surveyed in taiwan in 2011. to better understand the evolution and epidemiology of adenovirus in taiwan, full-length sequence of hexon and fiber coapsid protein was analyzed using series of phylogenetic and dynamic evolution tools. six different serotypes were identified in this outbreak and the species b was predominant (hadv-3, 71.50%; hadv-7, 15.46%). the most frequent diagnosis was acute tonsillitis (54.59%) and bronchitis (47.83%). phylogenetic analysis re ... | 2015 | 25992619 |
| high prevalence of type 41 and high sequence diversity of partial hexon gene of human adenoviruses in municipal raw sewage and activated sludge. | this study was aimed to assess seasonal/geographical distribution and sequence diversity of partial hexon gene for human adenoviruses (hadvs) within raw sewages (rs) and activated sludges (as). | 2015 | 26189615 |
| seasonal difference of human adenoviruses in a subtropical river basin based on 1-year monthly survey. | in this study, the seasonal difference and the observable presence/absence of human adenovirus (hadv) in the puzih river basin in taiwan was investigated. a total of 288 water samples were collected from 24 sites from march 2014 to february 2015. human adv analysis of sample was subjected to viral concentration using a gn-6 metricel® filter, followed by dna extraction, nested-pcr, and qpcr. human adv was detected in 34.3 % (99/288) of the entire river water sample. a higher percentage of hadv (7 ... | 2016 | 26490890 |
| nested-pcr and taqman real-time quantitative pcr assays for human adenoviruses in environmental waters. | human adenovirus (hadv) infections can occur throughout the year. cases of hadv-associated respiratory disease have been more common in the late winter, spring, and early summer. in this study, to provide viral pollution data for further epidemiological studies and governmental actions, the presence of hadv in the aquatic environment was quantitatively surveyed in the summer. this study was conducted to compare the efficiencies of nested-pcr (polymerase chain reaction) and qpcr (quantitative pcr ... | 2016 | 27120637 |
| molecular epidemiology and clinical manifestations of adenovirus respiratory infections in taiwanese children. | human adenoviruses (hadvs) are important causes of respiratory infections in children. they usually cause mild upper respiratory symptoms, but they can also produce severe pneumonia and other complications. the aims of this retrospective study were to better define the molecular epidemiology of respiratory adenoviruses circulating in taiwanese children during 2002 and 2013, detect reinfections and co-infections, and characterize the clinical features and laboratory findings according to the caus ... | 2016 | 27149483 |
| clinical features of community acquired adenovirus pneumonia during the 2011 community outbreak in southern taiwan: role of host immune response. | human adenovirus 7 (hadv-7) was responsible for a significant number of fatalities during the 2011 community outbreak in taiwan. the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of severe adenovirus infections in non-immunocompromised individuals remain unclear. adenovirus pneumonia was associated with pleural effusion in a number of patients from the 2011 outbreak suggesting that similar to bacterial pneumonia, patients diagnosed with adenovirus pneumonia who have pleural effusion are more severely a ... | 2017 | 28270104 |
| clinical and molecular features of adenovirus type 2, 3, and 7 infections in children in an outbreak in taiwan, 2011. | we studied paediatric patients with human adenovirus (hadv) infection during the 2011 outbreak in northern taiwan to define the clinical features of different hadv genotypes in children. | 2017 | 27851998 |
| community outbreak of adenovirus, taiwan, 2011. | in 2011, a large community outbreak of human adenovirus (hadv) in taiwan was detected by a nationwide surveillance system. the epidemic lasted from week 11 through week 41 of 2011 (march 14-october 16, 2011). although hadv-3 was the predominant strain detected (74%), an abrupt increase in the percentage of infections caused by hadv-7 occurred, from 0.3% in 2008-2010 to 10% in 2011. clinical information was collected for 202 inpatients infected with hadv; 31 (15.2%) had severe infection that requ ... | 2012 | 23092602 |
