Detection and quantification of noroviruses in shellfish.
Noroviruses (NoVs) are the most common viral agents of acute gastroenteritis in humans, and high concentrations of NoVs are discharged into the environment. As these viruses are very resistant to inactivation, the sanitary consequences are contamination of food, including molluscan shellfish. There are four major problems with NoV detection in shellfish samples: low levels of virus contaminatio...
متن کاملReverse transcription-booster PCR for detection of noroviruses in shellfish.
The methods commonly used for norovirus (NV) detection are based on reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) followed by confirmation of the amplified sequence. To increase sensitivity, an RT-booster PCR was developed. The proposed method showed an increase in sensitivity at least 2 log units for all the NV strains tested compared with the standard RT-PCR method. Higher sensitivity was confirmed in t...
متن کاملDetection of sapoviruses and noroviruses in an outbreak of gastroenteritis linked genetically to shellfish.
Norovirus (NoV) and sapovirus (SaV) are important pathogens of human gastroenteritis. Compared to NoV, the transmission route of SaV is unclear. An outbreak of gastroenteritis occurred at a restaurant in June 2008, and SaV and NoV were detected in fecal specimens from 17 people who ate at the restaurant and one asymptomatic food handler and also in stripped shellfish and liquids remaining in th...
متن کاملinvestigation of single-user and multi-user detection methods in mc-cdma systems and comparison of their performances
در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...
Environmental transmission of human noroviruses in shellfish waters.
Human noroviruses (NoV) are the most common cause of epidemic gastroenteritis following consumption of bivalve shellfish contaminated with fecal matter. NoV levels can be effectively reduced by some sewage treatment processes such as activated sludge and membrane bioreactors. However, tertiary sewage treatment and substantial sewage dilution are usually required to achieve low concentrations of...
