Diversity of Human Parechoviruses Isolated from Stool Samples Collected from Thai Children with Acute Gastroenteritis

Diversity of human parechoviruses isolated from stool samples collected from Thai children with acute gastroenteritis.

A total of 82 fecal specimens which were known to be negative for rotavirus, adenovirus, norovirus, sapovirus, and astrovirus and which were collected from infants and children with acute gastroenteritis in Chiang Mai, Thailand, from January to December 2005 were screened for human parechovirus (HPeV). HPeV was detected by reverse transcription-PCR with a primer pair that amplified the 5' untra...

Diversity of human parechoviruses isolated in stool samples collected from Thai children with acute gastroenteritis

Detection of human parechoviruses from clinical stool samples in Aichi, Japan.

Between April 1999 and March 2008, a total of 4,976 stool specimens collected from patients with suspected viral infection through infectious agent surveillance in Aichi, Japan, were tested for the presence of human parechoviruses (HPeVs). We detected HPeVs in 110 samples by either cell culture, reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR), or both. Serotyping either by neutralization test or by nucleoti...

Human Bocavirus in Iranian children with acute gastroenteritis

  Background: Human Bocavirus ( HBoV) infection is of worldwide distribution. There is increasing evidence that HBoV is pathogenic for the human gastroenteric tract. However, less data are available on the role of HBoV in gastroenteritis. The present study was aimed to determine the prevalence of HBoV in children with gastroenteritis.   Methods : Real-time PCR TaqMan was used to screen 200 st...

Detection of human bocavirus from fecal samples of Hungarian children with acute gastroenteritis.

OBJECTIVES Human bocavirus (HBoV), a newly identified member of the Parvoviridae family is associated with respiratory tract and gastroenteric infections, mostly of young children. HBoV infections show a seasonal distribution with the peak in temperate areas being in the winter months. METHODS In our study, 35 throat swabs from children under 5 years with acute respiratory symptoms and 61 sto...
