| [epidemiology, etiology and laboratory diagnosis of infectious diarrhea diseases in the tropics]. | diarrhoeal diseases belong to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in tropical countries, especially in infants and small children. about one billion episodes are estimated for this group of age with 4.6 million fatalities. many causes are discussed to explain the high incidence: bottle feeding of infants, protein malnutrition, unsafe drinking water and unsafe disposal of excrements and sewage, unsufficient consciousness of personal and domestic hygiene, lack of knowledge on the origin ... | 1985 | 3000920 |
| etiologic studies of the 1983 and 1984 outbreaks of epidemic diarrhea in guangxi. | studies are reported on two outbreaks of epidemic diarrhea in china involving 19,007 patients. the first outbreak occurred in the northern part of the guangxi autonomous region and extended south from april through september 1983. in june 1984 a second outbreak of 6,570 cases occurred in guanyang, a county in the northern part of guangxi. 125 fecal samples from the two outbreaks were cultured for bacteria; all of the samples except one were negative. rotavirus particles were detected in 44.1% (1 ... | 1985 | 2999028 |
| effect of hypertonic conditions on protein synthesis in ma104 cells infected with human rotavirus. | when a high nacl concentration was used to decrease selectively the synthesis of cell proteins, the synthesis of most cellular polypeptides was greatly diminished relative to human rotavirus proteins. thus, in the presence of 150 mm excess nacl, 11 viral polypeptides were clearly identified. however, hypertonic conditions also reduced viral protein synthesis to a different extent with individual proteins. no significant changes in viral protein synthesis occurred during incubation under the hype ... | 1985 | 2999574 |
| characterization of serotypes of human rotavirus strains by solid-phase immune electron microscopy. | serotyping of human rotaviruses (hrvs) by neutralization requires the previous adaptation of strains to growth in cell cultures, which is often unsuccessful. by using the solid-phase immune electron microscopy (spiem) technique with protein a and type-specific, cross-adsorbed, polyclonal immune sera, we divided 40 previously typed culture-adapted strains into the same four serotypes distinguished by neutralization, but hrv strains could also be typed directly on stool extracts. of 171 hrv strain ... | 1985 | 2999253 |
| maternal antibody-mediated protection against gastroenteritis due to rotavirus in newborn mice is dependent on both serotype and titer of antibody. | in order to evaluate the role of passively acquired, rotavirus-specific antibodies in protection against diarrhea, we inoculated mouse dams with rotaviruses of various serotypes, and their newborns were orally challenged with a primate rotavirus (simian sa-11). dams were immunized by using a regimen that included repeated inoculations administered either orally or intraperitoneally with adjuvant. the serum antibody response detected in dams by radioimmunoassay and plaque-reduction neutralization ... | 1985 | 2999254 |
| rotazyme assay in neonates without diarrhea. results of screening survey and preliminary analysis of false positive specimens. | one hundred forty-seven stool specimens from 93 infants younger than four months of age in a neonatal intensive care unit were tested for rotavirus by the rotazyme elisa method (abbott laboratories, north chicago, il). none of the infants had diarrhea at the time of the testing. ten of 147 (6.8%) specimens were either low or suspect positive. none had rotavirus by electron microscopy. excluding the suspect positives, which were negative on retesting, the false positive rate was only 6 of 147 (4. ... | 1985 | 3000163 |
| enteric viruses in diarrheic turkey poults. | thirty-three intestinal samples from 10-to-21-day-old diarrheic turkey poults were examined for the presence of enteric viruses by electron microscopy. samples originated from 32 flocks in six commercial operations located in six states. mortality in these flocks ranged from 3 to 15%, and birds from recovered flocks varied greatly in size. rotavirus-like agents (rvla) were the most common viruses associated with diarrhea outbreaks in the flocks examined, occurring in five out of six operations. ... | 1985 | 3000337 |

| three-year survey of the epidemiology of rotavirus, enteric adenovirus, and some small spherical viruses including "osaka-agent" associated with infantile diarrhea. | studies were made by electron microscopy (em) on the viruses associated with diarrhea of outpatients at a pediatric clinic in osaka prefecture during the three year period from 1980 through 1982. the viruses detected by em by negative staining with phosphotungstic acid (pta) were classified morphologically into 6 groups: rotavirus, adenovirus and four kinds of small spherical viruses, calicivirus, astrovirus, picornavirus/parvovirus (p/p)-like agent and osaka-agent. osaka-agent seems to be a new ... | 1985 | 3000350 |
| a human atypical rotavirus found in an ecuador infant with diarrhea. | one strain of atypical rotavirus, morphologically indistinguishable from known rotaviruses but lacking the common group antigen of typical rotavirus detectable by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), was isolated from one of 152 ecuadorian infants with acute rotavirus gastroenteritis. the genome analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a unique rna pattern clearly distinct from that of typical rotaviruses. | 1985 | 3000025 |
| rotaviral and coronaviral diarrhea. | a number of different viruses can be primary pathogens in the neonatal calf diarrhea complex. by far the most common viruses causing calfhood diarrhea found throughout the world are rotaviruses and coronaviruses. primary infection of newborn calves with either one of these viruses can cause severe intestinal alterations and diarrhea. rotaviruses can produce high-morbidity outbreaks of diarrhea in calves under 10 days of age. morality is variable mainly owing to secondary bacterial infections and ... | 1985 | 3000544 |
| independent segregation of two antigenic specificities (vp3 and vp7) involved in neutralization of rotavirus infectivity. | antiserum prepared against the m37 strain of rotavirus, recovered from an asymptomatic newborn infant in venezuela, neutralized two prototype human rotaviruses that define two separate serotypes: serotype 1 (wa) and serotype 4 (st3). thus, the m37 strain is a naturally occurring intertypic rotavirus. analysis of reassortant viruses produced during coinfection in vitro indicated that the observed dual serotype specificity of m37 resulted from sharing a related outer capsid protein, vp3, with the ... | 1985 | 3001716 |
| vaccination against enteric rota and coronaviruses in cattle and pigs: enhancement of lactogenic immunity. | passive immunity against enteric viral infections is dependent upon the continual presence in the gut lumen of a protective level of specific antibodies. this article examines methods currently used to enhance the titre and duration of specific antibody in the mammary secretions of cows and pigs, with particular reference to rotavirus and coronavirus infections. in addition, some of the potential problems to be found in attempting to produce vaccines against these viral infections are outlined. | 1985 | 2998111 |
| effect of relative humidity, atmospheric temperature, and suspending medium on the airborne survival of human rotavirus. | the wa strain of human rotavirus, grown in ma-104 cells, was suspended either in tryptose phosphate broth or feces from a case of rotaviral diarrhea. it was then aerosolized into a rotating drum using a collison nebulizer. the drum air was sampled using an all-glass impinger containing tryptose phosphate broth as collecting fluid. at 20 +/- 1 degree c, the virus aerosolized from tryptose phosphate broth was found to survive best at 50 +/- 5% relative humidity, where its half-life was 44.2 +/- 6. ... | 1985 | 3000566 |
