Morphology of echovirus 22.
نویسنده
چکیده
Purified preparations of echovirus 22 were examined in the electron microscope. The virus was found to possess 32 capsomers arranged at the vertices of either a pentakis dodecahedron or a rhombic triacontahedron. The size of the virions ranges from 22 x 10(-3) to 32 x 10(-3) mum with a mean of 27 x 10(-3) mum and a mode of 28 x 10(-3) mum.

Diagnosis and epidemiology of echovirus 22 infections.
To find out whether the appearance and pathogenicity of infections caused by echovirus 22 (EV22)--which has considerably different molecular characteristics from those of typical enteroviruses--exhibit extraordinary features, novel diagnostic approaches were applied. Staining of inoculated cell cultures with specific antibodies was followed by immunoperoxidase detection. Of fecal specimens from...

متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of complete VP1 sequences of echoviruses 11 and 6: high genetic diversity and circulation of genotypes with a wide geographical and temporal range.
Echovirus 6 (E6) and echovirus 11 (E11) are common causes of meningitis and other human diseases; they are among the most frequently isolated enteroviruses worldwide. In the present work we have studied genetic variability over the entire VP1 gene of selected isolates representing a wide geographical and temporal range. Fifty new sequences from North Africa were included, together with previous...
متن کاملDescription of a widespread outbreak of aseptic meningitis due to echovirus 30 in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
Echovirus 30 belongs to the genus Enterovirus and is widely associated with aseptic meningitis (AM) outbreaks. In Brazil epidemics due to this serotype were reported in several states but in Rio de Janeiro, before this study, it was only involved in sporadic episodes. We retrospectively collected data from AM notifications charts and enterovirus isolation database from Rio de Janeiro State Heal...
متن کاملSolar Disinfection of Viruses in Polyethylene Terephthalate Bottles.
Solar disinfection (SODIS) of drinking water in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles is a simple, efficient point-of-use technique for the inactivation of many bacterial pathogens. In contrast, the efficiency of SODIS against viruses is not well known. In this work, we studied the inactivation of bacteriophages (MS2 and ϕX174) and human viruses (echovirus 11 and adenovirus type 2) by SODIS....
