Detection and Genogrouping of Noroviruses from Children's Stools By Taqman One-step RT-PCR

Detection and genogrouping of noroviruses from children's stools by Taqman One-step RT-PCR.

Noroviruses (NoVs) are the leading cause of outbreaks of sporadic acute gastroenteritis worldwide in humans of all ages. They are important cause of hospitalizations in children with a public health impact similar to that of Rotavirus. NoVs are RNA viruses of great genetic diversity and there is a continuous appearance of new strains. Five genogroups are recognized; GI and GII with their many g...

Detection of Langat virus by TaqMan real-time one-step qRT-PCR method

Langat virus (LGTV), one of the members of the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) complex, was firstly isolated from Ixodes granulatus ticks in Malaysia. However, the prevalence of LGTV in ticks in the region remains unknown. Surveillance for LGTV is therefore important and thus a tool for specific detection of LGTV is needed. In the present study, we developed a real-time quantitative revers...

detection of noroviruses isolated from children with acute gastroenteritis by rt-pcr in iran

background noroviruses are one of the major viral pathogens responsible for gastroenteritis. outbreaks of diarrhea due to norovirus have been reported frequently. this study is performed to determine the prevalence of norovirus in fecal specimens of children with gastroenteritis. many viruses can cause gastroenteritis, including rotaviruses; adenoviruses types 40 and 41; sapoviruses; and norovi...

Rapid detection and differentiation of Newcastle disease virus isolates by a triple one-step RT-PCR.

A triple one-step RT-PCR was developed to screen and differentiate virulent from avirulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates. Three sets of oligonucleotides were designed, each specific for amplifying NDV fusion protein gene-specific RNA from virulent, avirulent or all isolates respectively. The sensitivity of one-step RT-PCR was determined using viral RNA extracted from serially diluted N...
