Characterization of a Salivirus (Picornaviridae) from a Diarrheal Child in Guatemala
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete genome sequence of a salivirus was identified in a stool sample from a Guatemalan child with acute gastroenteritis during a 2009 norovirus outbreak. This genome (genotype A1 strain GUT/2009/A-1746) shares 82% to 94% genome-wide nucleotide identity with saliviruses from the United States, China, Germany, and Nigeria, representing the first salivirus sequence from Central America.

Cosavirus, Salivirus and Bufavirus in Diarrheal Tunisian Infants
Three newly discovered viruses have been recently described in diarrheal patients: Cosavirus (CosV) and Salivirus (SalV), two picornaviruses, and Bufavirus (BuV), a parvovirus. The detection rate and the role of these viruses remain to be established in acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in diarrheal Tunisian infants. From October 2010 through March 2012, stool samples were collected from 203 children...

Salivirus was recently discovered in children with gastroenteritis and in sewage. Though a causative role for salivirus in childhood gastroenteritis was suggested in the previous study, the relationship between salivirus and acute gastroenteritis has not yet been clearly clarified. The sewage strain reported by Ng, although represented by incomplete genome sequencing data, was distinct from pre...
متن کاملCharacterization and Distribution of Virulence Factors in Aeromonas hydrophila Strains Isolated from Fecal Samples of Diarrheal and Asymptomatic Healthy Persons, in Ilam, Iran
Aeromonas hydrophila secretes several extracellular proteins including enterotoxin, hemolysin and aerolysin that are associated with the bacterial virulence. Previous studies have shown that two hemolytic toxins, hemolysin A and aerolysin A contribute to the virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila. In the current study, a total of 50 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila, including 28 (56%) strains isolate...
متن کاملCultivation and serological characterization of a human Theiler's-like cardiovirus associated with diarrheal disease.
Cardioviruses (e.g., Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus [TMEV]) are members of the Picornaviridae family that cause myocarditis and encephalitis in rodents. Recently, several studies have identified human cardioviruses, including Saffold virus (SAFV) and a related virus named human TMEV-like cardiovirus (HTCV). At least eight cardiovirus genotypes are now recognized, with SAFV and most st...
