Molecular characterization and genotyping of human rotavirus strains in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire.
In this study, we characterized human rotavirus strains recovered from infants and young children with acute diarrhea in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, during 2000-2004. In total, 719 fecal specimens were collected from children aged 1-60 months with acute infantile gastroenteritis. Examination with a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed the presence of group A rotavirus antigen in 208 ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of rotavirus strains circulating in Oman in 2005.
Limited genotyping data are available for rotavirus strains in the Middle East. In this study, we investigated the molecular epidemiology of human rotavirus strains circulating in the Sultanate of Oman during 2005. Rotavirus was detected in 178 (57.4%) of 310 of the diarrheal stools of young children <5 years admitted to hospitals and outpatients clinics. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demo...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of novel G5 bovine rotavirus strains.
Group A rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in young children as well as many domestic animals. The rotavirus genome is composed of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA and can undergo genetic reassortment during mixed infections, leading to progeny viruses with novel or atypical phenotypes. The aim of this study was to determine if the bovine group A rotavirus strains KJ44 and...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis Strains, Iraqi Kurdistan
Of 260 children with acute diarrhea in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, 96 (37%) were infected with rotavirus. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction identified G1, G4, G2, G9, P[8], P[6], and P[4] as the most common genotypes. Eight G/P combinations were found, but P[8]G1 and P[4]G2 accounted for >50% of the strains.
متن کاملIsolation and Molecular Genotyping of Group A Rotavirus Strains Circulating Among Egyptian Infants and Children
Purpose: Group A rotaviruses are the most important cause of acute diarrhea in children throughout the world. They are the cause of more than 450,000 annual deaths. There are few data available about rotaviruses type circulating in Egypt. Genotyping by reverse transcription-PCR (RTPCR) have been widely used. Aim: To identify rotavirus antigens and RNA among stool specimens isolated from Egyptia...
