چکیده

The study represents the genetic overview of non-polio enteroviruses (NPEV) isolated from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases in Yunnan Province from 2006 to 2010. Molecular typing based on VP1 nucleotide sequence was carried out on 98 NPEV isolates, and 33 serotypes were identified. EV-B was detected most frequently with an overall prevalence of 71.4%, followed by EV-A (18.4%) and EV-C (10.2%). No EV-D was identified. NPEV positive rate was higher in children <3 years of age and in summer and autumn months. Clinically, 68.4% patients presented with fever, and 16 cases (16.3%) were classified as Guillain-Barré syndrome, followed by myositis (13.3%). The phylogenetic analysis on the VP1 and 3D regions of prevalent serotypes provided evidence for recombination events among them. EV-A71, an important pathogen previously demonstrated to be associated with paralysis, had also been detected (n = 8) in this study and they all belonged to genotype C4. Great genetic divergence between Yunnan isolates and strains from other regions of the world was revealed. The findings of the study are of great importance for further research on molecular evolution of EV under the circumstance of no specialized EV surveillance system in China.

Human enteroviruses (EVs) are the major causative agents of aseptic meningitis. In this study, a total of 524 children were admitted to the children Kunming hospital (continental China) for aseptic meningitis manifestations in 2009 and 2010. An EV infection was diagnosed in 85/524 children (16.2 %) and the viruses detected were assigned to 16 serotypes. Most serotypes belonged to the enteroviru...

Development of a rapid, one-step-visual method to detect Salmonella based on IC-LAMP method

Background: Salmonella can cause serious human gastroenteritis and is frequently isolated from various food samples. The cell culturing, immunoassay, and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) are the current methods to detect such pathogenic agents. However, these methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and thus unavailable for rapid-monitoring of Salmonella</em...
