susceptibility of the vero line of african green monkey kidney cells to human enteroviruses.the relative susceptibility of vero cells and primary rhesus monkey kidney cells to 47 prototype strains of human enteroviruses is described. of these strains, types 4, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 31 and 34 and coxsackie virus a 9 failed to cause cpe in the vero cells whilst only one, echovirus type 34, failed to cause cpe in the monkey kidney cells.a comparison is given of the efficiency of the two cell cultures for enterovirus isolation from clinical material. results show that vero cells are as usefu ...19744361500
environmental factors influencing isolation of enteroviruses from polluted surface waters.the influence of water quality upon the concentration of virus on location was assessed in field studies conducted in the houston ship channel, galveston bay, and houston waste treatment plants. clarification of polluted surface waters was accomplished with minimal loss of virus. virus from clarified sewage effluents and saline waters was then adsorbed and concentrated on textile and membrane filter surfaces. direct measurements of virus from large volumes of polluted surface waters under existi ...19744364463
replication or inactivation of different viruses by human lymphocyte preparations.cultures of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated, unstimulated, and frozen and thawed mononuclear (as controls) cells from normal human donors were infected with different viruses. a variable pattern of virus infectivity was noted, and influenza and coxsackie virus were rapidly inactivated even by stimulated lymphocytes. direct inactivation by lymphocytes may be one form of host defense in infection by some viruses.19744361296
inactivation of herpes simplex virus by concanavalin a.the infectivity of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) was inactivated after treatment with either concanavalin a (cona) or periodate. phytohemagglutinin, wheat germ agglutinin, pokeweed mitogen, and neuraminidase failed to inactivate the virus. the effect of cona could be specifically inhibited or reversed by the addition of alpha-methyl-d-glucoside or alpha-methyl-d-mannoside. evidence was obtained that hsv-1 inactivated by cona could adsorb to host cells. viral aggregation was not a major mec ...19744364903

the importance of picornavirus infections in respiratory disease of man and other mammals.picornaviruses may be divided, by physicochemical properties, into enteroviruses, cardioviruses, caliciviruses, rhinoviruses and foot-and-mouth diseases viruses. although the respiratory tract may be the primary site of entry and multiplication for enteroviruses, cardioviruses and fmd viruses, few agents in these groups cause respiratory disease. a notable exception is coxsackievirus a21 which is an important cause of upper respiratory tract diseases in military recruits. the picornaviruses whic ...1975165133
organ culture of human aorta: prolonged survival with support of viral replication.organ cultures were established with use of human fetal aorta obtained after death; cellular elements were preserved in the cultures for periods of up to eight weeks, with maintenance of their in vivo tissue relationships. histologically, these cultures preserve the three coats of the aorta, including an intact endothelial layer cells. the aorta organ cultures supported the replication of echovirus 11, herpes simplex virus type 1, adenovirus 2, and coxsackievirus b5 without the production of det ...1975165246
serologic characterization and sero-epidemiologic studies on acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (ahc) virus.serologic and sero-epidemiologic characteristics of ahc virus infection were studied by neutralization test (nt). four-fold or greater virus neutralizing (vn) antibody response was demonstrated to the japanese isolate of ahc virus (the j 670/71 strain) in 77.3% and 66.7% of paired sera from clinical ahc patients in japan (1971-1973) and tunisia (1973). the four patients from indonesia studied in 1972 showed similar antibody response. cross-neutralization tests of ahc virus isolated in japan (197 ...1975165719
virus isolation and titration at 33 degrees and 37 degrees c.various prototype viruses and original specimens were comparatively titrated in cell cultures at 33 degrees and 37 degrees c. higher titers at 37 degrees were consistently obtained with adenoviruses; for other viruses (enteroviruses, herpesvirus hominis, vaccinia virus, parainfluenza viruses) the titers were mostly identical at either temperature. original specimens and prototye strains showed the same behavior. the habit to cultivate viruses from throat swabs at 33 degrees c is unsatisfactory f ...1975167268
surveillance of enterovirus infections in bangkok. i. isolation of enterovirus from faecal specimens of healthy children.during the period august 1970 through july 1973, about 50 faecal specimens collected each month from healthy pre-school children of lower economic status in bangkok were studied for virus isolation using primary monkey kidney cells and new born mice. from a total of 1,823 samples, 557 (30.5%) were positive: 86 (4.8%) polioviruses, 77 (4.2%) coxsackieviruses b, 223 (12.2%) echoviruses, and 127 strains (7.0%) of unidentified viruses. altogether, 45 serotypes of enteric viruses were identified. mor ...1975167453
demonstration of virus in groundwater after effluent discharge onto soil.the survival of virus present in secondary effluents discharged into a cypress dome was studied. isolations were made from concentrates of water drawn from 10-foot (304.80 cm) deep wells. data presented show vertical and lateral virus movement as well as survival within the dome for 28 days during a period of heavy rains when no effluent was being applied. due to the inefficiency of virus concentration procedures, it is proposed that much of the virus present was probably not demonstrated. a rap ...1975168809
removal of enteroviruses from sewage by bench-scale rotary-tube trickling filters.the efficacy of a rotary-tube type of trickling filter for removing coxsackievirus a9, poliovirus 1, and echovirus 12 suspended in raw settled sewage was investigated. at filtration rates equivalent to about 10 mgd (million gallons per day)/acre (ca. 3,785 m3/day per acre), the filters removed 95% of the poliovirus, 83% of echovirus 12, and 94% of coxsackievirus a9. coliform, fecal streptococci, biochemical oxygen demand, and chemical oxygen demand removals were remarkably similar, averaging 94, ...1975169731

[sensitivity of various primate cells and animal viruses to the antiviral activity of human leukocyte interferon (author's transl)].u cells (a permanent, human amnion cell line) were protected against infection with semliki forest virus (sfv) by human interferon (hif) from peripheral leukocytes. despite the usual genus-specific action of interferons, mouse l929 cultures (a permanent mouse fibroblast cell line) were also protected by hif. the antiviral action of hif in six other primate cell cultures was also examined. it is of interest that two lymphoblastoid cell lines, rpmi1788 and kaplan, were insensitive to hif. the sens ...1975170886
[effect of sodium salicylate on the "in vitro" development of rna viruses (author's transl)].sodium salicylate 10(-3) m is able to limit the number of plaques induced by rna viruses on monkey kidney cell cultures (cercopithecus aethiops and macaccus rhesus). however, the inhibition rate changes with the virus type or even the strain used. poliovirus 2, coxsackie b3, echovirus and reovirus 1 were the most susceptible to the inhibitory effect of the drug. latent infection caused by sv5 decreases the antiviral activity of salicylate. the stages of the poliovirus type 2 growth affected by s ...1975171988
studies on the survival and fate of enteroviruses in an experimental model of a municipal solid waste landfill and leachate.in laboratory scale municipal solid waste lysimeters containing simulated refuse, and seeded with either laboratory or field strains of poliovirus type 1 and echovirus type 7, viruses were not detected in the lysimeter leachate produced over a 4-month period. in addition, viruses were detected in the lysimeter refuse contents after termination of lysimeter operation. these results appeared to be due to virus retention in the lysimeter caused by virus adsorption and virus inactivation. evidence f ...1975172012
[respiratory tract infections of viral origin in infants. examination of 103 serum pairs in autumn and following spring].in autumn 1973 und about four months later in spring 1974 blood samples were taken from the same 103 children aged from a few months to five years and coming from different parts of bavaria. we examined the samples for complement-fixing antibodies against the influenza virus types a, b and c, the parainfluenza virus types 1, 2 and 3, the adenoviruses and the respiratory-syncytial virus, and for neutralising antibodies against the echo virus type 25. at the commencement of the investigation the m ...1975172769
a high density component in several vertebrate enteroviruses.in addition to the major infective component, which bands at a density of 1:34 g/ml in caesium chloride ("light component"), a component with a density of 1:44 g/ml ("heavy component") has been found in harvests of poliovirus (type i), coxsackie b5 virus, a bovine enterovirus (vg-5-27) and swine vesicular disease virus (svdv). with svdv about 98% of the infectivity equilibrated at 1 . 34 g/ml but approx. 2% was present as a peak at 1 . 44 g/ml. the morphology of the two forms was similar but the ...1975213532
development of a simple method for concentrating enteroviruses from oysters.the development of a simple method for concentrating enteroviruses from oysters is described. in this method viruses in homogenized oyster tissues are efficiently absorbed to oyster solids at ph 5.5 and low salt concentration. after low-speed centrifugation, the supernatant is discarded and viruses are eluted from the sedimented oyster solids by resuspending them in ph 3.5 glycine-buffered saline. the solids are then removed by low-speed centrifugation, and the virus-containing supernatant is fi ...1975234154
virologic and serologic studies on an outbreak of echovirus type 11 infection in a hospital maternity unit.an outbreak of echovirus type 11 (e-11) infection occurred among newborn babies in a hospital maternity unit in the summer of 1971. the results of studies are as follows: 1) forty-one of 188 infants developed febrile illness with stomatitis during one and a half months from july to september. e-11 was isolated from stool specimens of 14 infants and two throat swabs. antibody response to the virus was shown in all the 19 cases examined. some of their mothers were suffering from subclinical infect ...19751195517
electrophoretic analysis of capsid and non-capsid polypeptides of echovirus 12, and selective inhibtion of the formation of virus particles by actinomycin d.electrophoretic analysis of purified echovirus virus particles yielded four polypeptides of mol. wt. 37000, 30000, 25000 and 7600. the 75s empty capsids of echovirus 12 lack the 25000 and 7600 mol. wt. polypeptides, and possess polypeptides of 41000 mol. wt. a total of 14 virus-induced polypeptide species was found in the cytoplasm of infected cells. actinomycin d reduced the synthesis of virus, virus rna, and virus polypeptides and also reduced the proportion of virus particles to empty capsid ...19751168242
[the value of the coxsackie b virus complement fixation test (author's transl)].enteroviruses were isolated from 27 patients during 1973 and 1974, 21 of these were coxsackie b, 4 were echo and 2 were polio viruses, 5 further viruses could not be identified. sera from 14 of the coxsackie patients were investigated twice by means of the complement fixation test (cft). 11 of them showed a significant rise in antibody titre against one of the 6 different coxsackie b viruses. no strong correlation was established between the result of the cft and the isolated type of virus. neve ...19751226771

myocarditis associated with echo type 7 infection in a leukemic child.a 3 1/2-year-old boy, during the course of acute lymphocytic leukemia presented clinical, roentgenological and ecg signs of myocarditis, which disappeared completely within 1 1/2 month. echo type 7 virus was isolated from the faeces during the acute stage of the disease and rise in echo 7 neutralizing antibodies was demonstrated in paired sera of the patient. this unusual pathogenicity of echo 7 virus could be explained with the impairment of the host resistance induced by leukemia and immunosup ...19761066956
epidemic of echovirus 19 in the north-east of england.we report the first large-scale outbreak of echovirus 19 infection. it occurred in the north-east of england during the summer and autumn of 1974. the virus was isolated from 268 patients in the region. the infection spread from the urban to more rural areas, reaching a peak in mid-august. males were affected more often than females in the ratio 1-6:1. half of the patients were under eight years of age, relatively few were over 35 years. aseptic meningitis and upper respiratory infections were t ...19761063219
[permissivity of mouse-man hybrid cell clones to three enteroviruses: poliovirus ii, coxsackie b3 and echovirus 11. role of human chromosome f. 19 (author's transl)].the permissivity of human cells to enteroviruses is linked to the presence of specific cell receptors. owing to the chance elimination of human chromosomes, the man-mouse hybrid cells may be permissive or not depending on the genome responsible for synthesis of the receptors, and whether it has been conserved or not. by comparison of the cytopathogenic effects and virus production after inoculation of the viruses polio ii, echo 11 and coxsachie b3 to various hybrid strains, we observed an identi ...1976180477
demonstration of solids-associated virus in wastewater and sludge.data presented demonstrate the relatively high multiplicity of solids-associated virus in field samples, i.e., wastewater, sludge, and soils. influent, effluent, and chlorinated effluent samples showed 16.1 to 100% of the total virus demonstrated in samples to be solids associated. three techniques for freeing solids-associated virus are described and compared. using sonication of solids and polyethylene glycol concentration, virus was demonstrated in fully digested sludge (60 days at 34 c), san ...1976180882
stability of human enteroviruses in estuarine and marine waters.studies of the effects of temperature and salinity on the survival of three enteric viruses (poliomyelitis type 1, echovirus-6, and coxsackievirus b-5) under controlled laboratory conditions and in situ indicate that temperature rather than salinity is the critical factor affecting their stability, in that the higher the temperature the more rapid was the loss of viral infectivity. in the laboratory studies, all three viruses were quite stable at 4 degrees c, with infectious virus still detectab ...1976184736

detection of virus in water: sensitivity of the tentative standard method for drinking water.the sensitivity of several microporous virus-adsorbent media for reliably detecting low levels of poliovirus from 380 and 1,900 liters of drinking water by use of the tentative standard method was investigated. the virus-adsorbent media tested were (i) nitrocellulose membrane filters, (ii) epoxy-fiber glass-asbestos filters, (iii) yarn-wound fiber glass depth filters, and (iv) epoxy-fiber glass filter tubes. virus was adsorbed to the filter media at ph 3.5 and eluted with glycine buffer, ph 11.5 ...1976187116
enteroviruses other than poliovirus.the role of enteroviruses in certain specific disease--cardiac disease, nephritis, diabetes, and hemorrhagic conjunctivitis--is examined. it has now been well documented that coxsackievirus b (types cb1 through cb5 but not cb6) is the main pathogen involved in various clinical forms of viral heart disease. coxsackievirus a (ca4 and ca16) and echovirus (types 9 and 22) may also be associated with viral heart disease. in regard to the etiologic role of enteroviruses in nephritis, pancreatitis, and ...1976193602
effect of acid ph, salts, and temperature on the infectivity and physical integrity of enteroviruses.at 2 degrees and 30 degrees c, enteroviruses are more stable on the acid than on the alkaline side of neutrality. in the range from ph 3 to 9, temperature is so influential that the fastest inactivation rate at 2 degrees c is slower than the slowest inactivation rate at 30 degrees c. specific ions or salts also affect the rate of inactivation of enteroviruses. nacl and other chloride salts enhance the inactivation of poliovirus at ph 3. nacl is considerably less effective against poliovirus in t ...197613766
virus inactivation by grapes and wines.infusions and extracts of different grapes inactivated poliovirus; agents responsible for this property resided in the skin of the grape. commercial grape juice at both natural and neutral ph inactivate various enteric viruses and herpes simplex virus; a 1,000-fold reduction in poliovirus infectivity occurred after incubation with grape juice, ph 7.0, for 24 h at 4 degrees c. a variety of wines were antiviral but to a lesser extent than grape juice; red wines were more antiviral than white. anti ...197612719
