| seroepidemiology of enterovirus d68 infection in china. | human enterovirus 68 (ev-d68) is a rarely reported virus that has been linked to respiratory disease. in recent years, reports about ev-d68 infection have markedly increased worldwide. however, the epidemiological features of this emerging infection are not well understood. to evaluate the emerging ev-d68 epidemic, we isolated the circulating viral strain and investigated the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies (nabs) in beijing between 2004 and 2011. we found that the titers of ev-d68 nab ... | 2017 | 28487560 |
| respiratory infections associated with enterovirus d68 from 2011 to 2015 in beijing, china. | enterovirus d68 (ev-d68) is an emergent viral pathogen associated with mild to severe respiratory infections. in this study, we describe respiratory infections associated with ev-d68 in beijing over a 4 year period. total nucleic acid was extracted from 7,945 clinical specimens collected between january 5, 2011 and july 30, 2015 in beijing and used for detecting ev-d68 and other enteroviruses by real-time pcr. overall, 555/7,945 (6.99%) specimens were enterovirus positive: 12/7,945 (0.2%) specim ... | 2016 | 26896830 |
| the genomic characterization of enterovirus d68 from 2011 to 2015 in beijing, china. | a retrospective surveillance study on enterovirus d68 was performed in beijing, china, following the largest and most widespread ev-d68 infection, which occurred in the usa. from january 2011 to july 2015, ev-d68 was identified in 12 individuals with respiratory infections in beijing, china. the phylogenetic relationships based on the genomic sequence alignment showed that there were two lineages circulating in beijing from 2011 to 2015. eight ev-d68 strains belonged to group 1 and four belonged ... | 2016 | 27806749 |
