New Parvovirus in Child with Unexplained Diarrhea, Tunisia
نویسندگان
چکیده
A divergent parvovirus genome was the only eukaryotic viral sequence detected in feces of a Tunisian child with unexplained diarrhea. Tusavirus 1 shared 44% and 39% identity with the nonstructural protein 1 and viral protein 1, respectively, of the closest genome, Kilham rat parvovirus, indicating presence of a new human viral species in the Protoparvovirus genus.

Despite the widespread prevalence of canine parvovirus disease (CPV) in Iranian dog population,molecular diagnosis of CPV variants, and investigation of the trends of its genetic changes is a new effort. Inthis study 50 samples from dogs suspicious of infection with clinical signs of diarrhea and vomiting, and 25samples from dogs suspected of infection with general symptoms su...
متن کاملParvovirus B19 induced transient aplastic crisis in an immunocompetent child.
Viral-induced aplastic crisis is an important cause of unexplained anaemia. It becomes significant in the context of an immunocompromised host. However, it is commonly overlooked in a well-nourished immunocompetent host. Parvovirus B19-induced transient crisis is one such example. Bone marrow study is a commonly performed preliminary investigation for an unexplained anaemia and can provide impo...

متن کاملGenome Sequence of a Canine Parvovirus Strain, CPV-s5, Prevalent in Southern China
A prevalent new field canine parvovirus type-2a (CPV-2a) strain, CPV-s5, was isolated from the feces of a dog with diarrhea in Shenzhen, China. The genome of CPV-s5 was determined and analyzed, which will facilitate further study of the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of CPV-2 field isolates in southern China.
متن کاملHereditary Spherocytosis Unmasked by Human Parvovirus B19 Induced Aplastic Crisis in a Family
Human parvovirus (HPV) B19 induced aplastic crisis in a family leading to the diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a very rare condition being barely reported in the literature. We herein report a 4-year-old girl, her brother, and their mother who all presented with progressive pallor and jaundice after a febrile illness. The HPV B19 was diagnosed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ...
