Norovirus Diversity in Diarrheic Children from an African-Descendant Settlement in Belém, Northern Brazil
Norovirus (NoV), sapovirus (SaV) and human astrovirus (HAstV) are viral pathogens that are associated with outbreaks and sporadic cases of gastroenteritis. However, little is known about the occurrence of these pathogens in relatively isolated communities, such as the remnants of African-descendant villages ("Quilombola"). The objective of this study was the frequency determination of these vir...
متن کاملGroup A rotavirus and norovirus display sharply distinct seasonal profiles in Belém, northern Brazil
Several viruses have been associated with acute gastroenteritis (AGE), and group A rotavirus (RVA) and norovirus (NoV) are the most prevalent. This study aimed to assess their prevalence among children hospitalised for diarrhoea during a three-year surveillance study. From May 2008-April 2011, overall positivity rates of 21.6% (628/2904) and 35.4% (171/483) were observed for RVA and NoV, respec...
متن کاملMulticenter Evaluation of the Xpert Norovirus Assay for Detection of Norovirus Genogroups I and II in Fecal Specimens.
Norovirus is the most common cause of sporadic gastroenteritis and outbreaks worldwide. The rapid identification of norovirus has important implications for infection prevention measures and may reduce the need for additional diagnostic testing. The Xpert Norovirus assay recently received FDA clearance for the detection and differentiation of norovirus genogroups I and II (GI and GII), which ac...
متن کاملSynthesize of Ion Imprinted Polymer for Selective Extraction of lead (II) from Environmental Water Samples
A new Pb(II) imprinted mercapto functionalized Montmorillonite was synthesize by an easy one step reaction by combining a surface imprinting technique for selective phase extraction of Pb(II) prior to its determinations by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. The modified sorbent was characterized by FTIR and studied for preconcentration and determination of Pb(II) in natural water samples. Th...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Babesia vogeli in dogs from Belém, northern Brazil.
Babesiosis is an infectious hemolytic disease that occurs worldwide, and is caused by a protozoan of the Babesia genus (Apicomplexa). Little is known about this genus; therefore, this study conducted a molecular characterization of Babesia spp in naturally infected dogs in northern Brazil. Blood samples were collected from 172 dogs from metropolitan Belém, and screened for Babesia spp using sem...
