| assay of neutralizing antibodies to animal rotavirus strains and human rotavirus serotype g8 by a modified method in the residents of pune, india. | in the western literature, four g serotypes (g1-g4) of human rotaviruses have been found to be of a major epidemiological importance. during the analysis of rotavirus serotypes from faecal samples in pune, over 50% of specimens could not be serotyped with the available monoclonal antibodies against g1-g4 serotypes. the results prompted to look for the prevalence of neutralizing antibodies against serotypes other than the major human serotypes (g1-g4) in adults. neutralizing antibodies against an ... | 1996 | 8870403 |
| comparative studies of human rotavirus serotype g8 strains recovered in south africa and the united kingdom. | epidemiological studies on the vp7 serotype prevalence of human rotaviruses in south africa and the united kingdom identified several strains which could not be serotyped as g1-g4 by monoclonal antibodies. further analysis of these strains with a g8-specific monoclonal antibody and with probes for human rotaviruses confirmed them as g8 rotaviruses. these g8 strains exhibited a high degree of sequence identity when compared with each other and with other rotavirus g8 strains. five south african s ... | 1999 | 10580066 |
| genomic characterization of human rotavirus g8 strains from the african rotavirus network: relationship to animal rotaviruses. | global rotavirus surveillance has led to the detection of many unusual human rotavirus (hrv) genotypes. during 1996-2004 surveillance within the african rotavirus network (arn), six p[8],g8 and two p[6],g8 human rotavirus strains were identified. gene fragments (rt-pcr amplicons) of all 11-gene segments of these g8 strains were sequenced in order to elucidate their genetic and evolutionary relationships. phylogenetic and sequence analyses of each gene segment revealed high similarities (88-100% ... | 2009 | 19319943 |
| novel group a rotavirus g8 p[1] as primary cause of an ovine diarrheic syndrome outbreak in weaned lambs. | rotavirus is a worldwide major cause of diarrhea outbreaks in neonatal ruminants. an outbreak of ovine diarrheic syndrome (ods) in 50-75 days-old lambs (weaned lambs) is described. fecal immunochromatography and intestinal immunohistochemistry for rotavirus group a were performed. in addition, semi-nested multiplex rt-pcr for g and p rotavirus genotyping in combination with sequencing were performed, to support the diagnosis and identify the viral strain. a novel ovine rotavirus group a g8 p[1] ... | 2010 | 21216110 |
| detection and characterisation of novel bocavirus (genus bocaparvovirus) and gastroenteritis viruses from asymptomatic pigs in ireland. | livestock animals have been the assumed source of several human epidemics in recent years, for example, influenza h1n1, rotavirus g8/g9, and mers-cov. surveillance of novel viruses in animals is essential to evaluate the risk to human and animal health and to determine any economic impact, for example, failure to thrive. there is a paucity of data regarding detection and characterisation of gastroenteritis viruses, particularly novel viruses, in porcines in ireland. recently, a number of small n ... | 2015 | 26065833 |
| predominance of rotavirus g8 genotype in hospitalized children with acute gastroenteritis in yasuj, iran. | rotavirus infection is the most common cause of gastroenteritis among children worldwide. in this study, we were evaluated the occurrence of rotavirus infection and genotypes causing gastroenteritis among children under 5 years in yasuj, iran. | 2014 | 24668711 |
