Serotype-specific detection of coxsackievirus A16 in clinical specimens by reverse transcription-nested PCR.

چکیده
We describe the development of a coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) serotype-specific PCR which correctly differentiated between CVA16 and other enterovirus serotypes of both laboratory isolates and clinical specimens. The assay will be useful for monitoring CVA16 outbreaks and studying the disease association, epidemiology, and evolution of this common enterovirus serotype.

Evaluation of Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification assays for Rapid Detection of Human Enterovirus 71 and Coxsackievirus A16 in Clinical Samples
A sensitive reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for human enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) infection was further evaluated. The one step reaction was performed in a single tube at 65 ̊C for 45 min for EV71 and 35 min for CVA16. The detection limits of RT-LAMP assays for both EV71 and CVA16 were 0.1 of a 50% tissue culture infective dos...

Enteroviruses are the causative agents of a number of diseases in humans. Group B coxsackieviruses are believed to be the most common viral agents responsible for human heart disease. Genomic data of enteroviruses has allowed developing new molecular approaches such as Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) for detection of such viruses. In this study, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) was de...

The genetic and phylogenetic characteristics of human enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) sampled from children with hand, foot, and mouth disease in Shenzhen, People's Republic of China, over a 6-year period (1999 to 2004) were examined with reverse transcription-PCR and DNA sequencing. Out of 147 stool specimens, 60 showed positive signals when screened with EV71- and CA16-spe...

Sporadic hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) outbreaks and other infectious diseases in recent years have frequently been associated with certain human enterovirus (HEV) serotypes. This study explored the prevalences and genetic characteristics of non-HEV71 and non-coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) human enterovirus-associated HFMD infections in Shenzhen, China. A total of 2,411 clinical stool speci...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Human Enterovirus 71 Causing Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Klang Valley, Malaysia
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a childhood infection caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV71) or Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16). Occasionally, Enterovirus 71 becomes fatal and causes encephalitis. The objective of the present study was to determine HFMD caused by Enterovirus 71 if prevalent in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. 184 specimens were collected from the patients reported to University Kebangsaan...
