| prevalence of enteroviruses in hot spring recreation areas of taiwan. | enteroviruses can be introduced into the water environment as a result of human activity. contaminations within hot tubs, spas and public baths are also possible. we investigated the distribution of enteroviruses at six hot spring recreation areas throughout taiwan. spring water was collected from 34 sites and enteroviruses were detected in 13 (38.2%). the most frequently detected was coxsackievirus a2, followed by echovirus 11. enterovirus 71 (ev 71) and porcine enterovirus 9 were detected once ... | 2008 | 18218023 |
| prevalence of porcine enterovirus 9 in pigs in middle and eastern china. | little information on the epidemiology and pathogenicity of porcine enterovirus 9 (pev-9) is available. the present study investigated the prevalence of pev-9 in pig populations in middle and eastern china using reverse transcriptase (rt)-pcr. all 14 sampled farms were positive for pev-9 and the overall prevalence of infection in the studied pigs was 8.3% (37/447). there was a higher frequency of infection in pigs aged 10-15 weeks (12/119, 10.1%) than in pigs aged >20 weeks (5/103, 4.9%). a 313 ... | 2013 | 23537283 |
| viral metagenomics analysis demonstrates the diversity of viral flora in piglet diarrhoeic faeces in china. | to investigate the diversity of viral flora, we used metagenomics to study the viral communities in a pooled faecal sample of 27 diarrhoeic piglets from intensive commercial farms in china. the 15 distinct mammalian viruses identified in the pooled diarrhoeic sample were, in order of abundance of nucleic acid sequence, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (pedv), sapovirus, porcine bocavirus-4 (pbov-4), sapelovirus, torovirus, coronavirus, pbov-2, stool-associated single-stranded dna virus (poscv), a ... | 2014 | 24718833 |
| genetic diversity and molecular characterization of enteroviruses from sewage-polluted urban and rural rivers in the philippines. | despite the vast distribution and expansive diversity of enteroviruses reported globally, indicators defining a complete view of the epidemiology of enteroviruses in tropical countries such as the philippines are yet to be established. detection of enteroviruses in the environment has been one of the markers of circulating viruses in a community. this study aimed to bridge the gap in the epidemiology of enteroviruses in the philippines by providing an overview of the occurrence of enteroviruses ... | 2012 | 22743820 |
