Detection and Phylogenetic Characterization of Human Hepatitis E Virus Strains, Czech Republic
نویسندگان
چکیده
To determine the origin of hepatitis E virus in the Czech Republic, we analyzed patient clinical samples. Five isolates of genotypes 3e, 3f, and 3g were obtained. Their genetic relatedness with Czech strains from domestic pigs and wild boars and patient recollections suggest an autochthonous source likely linked to consumption of contaminated pork.

Hepatitis E Virus in Pork Production Chain in Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain, 2010
We evaluated the prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in the pork production chain in Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain during 2010. A total of 337 fecal, liver, and meat samples from animals at slaughterhouses were tested for HEV by real-time quantitative PCR. Overall, HEV was higher in Italy (53%) and Spain (39%) than in Czech Republic (7.5%). HEV was detected most frequently in feces in Ital...

We report the detection and isolation of four almost identical strains of West Nile virus (WNV) lineage 2from Culex modestus mosquitoes collected at three fish ponds in South Moravia, Czech Republic, during August 2013. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the Czech WNV strains isolated are closely related to Austrian, Italian and Serbian strains reported in 2008,2011 and 2012, respectively....

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of open reading frame 5 was developed for typing of Czech strains of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). e set of restriction enzymes Acc I, Hae II and SnaB I allowed the differentiation of heterogeneous Czech strains of PRRSV clustered separately in the phylogenetic tree. e high-passage strain V-502 (164) was a...

Technical Appendix Figure. Phylogenetic tree constructed with HEV sequences for virus strains from study subjects from India, persons in Central African Republic (CAR) with autochthonous infection, and reference strains. Each branch is labeled with the GenBank accession number, the country of origin, and the host (if nonhuman). Scale bar represents nucleotide substitutions per site.
متن کاملHepatitis a virus genotypes and strains from an endemic area of Europe, Bulgaria 2012–2014
BACKGROUND Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is endemic in Eastern European and Balkan region countries. In 2012, Bulgaria showed the highest rate (67.13 cases per 100,000) in Europe. Nevertheless, HAV genotypes and strains circulating in this country have never been described. The present study reports the molecular characterization of HAV from 105 patients from Bulgaria. METHODS Anti-HAV Ig...
