| outbreaks of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis caused by human adenovirus type 8 in the tibet autonomous region of china in 2016. | from april to november 2016, two outbreaks of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (ekc) occurred successively at primary and middle schools in the tibet autonomous region of china, and a total of 197 clinically diagnosed cases were reported. real-time pcr analyses confirmed that human adenovirus (hadv) infection was related to these outbreaks. further studies involving sequence determination and phylogenetic analysis based on the penton base, hexon, and fiber genes indicated that human adenovirus type ... | 2017 | 28915257 |
| whole-genome analyses of human adenovirus type 55 emerged in tibet, sichuan and yunnan in china, in 2016. | three outbreaks of acute respiratory disease occurred at military camps in 2016 at tibet, sichuan and yunnan province, china. the pathogen induced these three outbreaks were all confirmed as hadv-55 by genotype-specific pcr. the outbreak in tibet was the first report that hadv-55 occurred in the high altitude (ha, above sea level 3658 m). this study aims to determine the gene variation and evolution characteristics of these viral strains. three strains of adenoviruses, ls89/tibet/2016 (genbank a ... | 2017 | 29240811 |
