Genetic Variants of Echovirus 13, Northern India, 2010

چکیده
Nonpolio acute flaccid paralysis is increasing in India. To determine viral causes, we conducted cell culture and molecular analysis identification of nonpolio human enteroviruses associated with acute flaccid paralysis during March-August 2010 in northern India. The predominant nonpolio enterovirus found was echovirus 13, a serotype rarely isolated in India.

High frequency of enterovirus serotype circulation in a densely populated area of India.
INTRODUCTION In the state of Uttar Pradesh in India, enteroviruses are a significant cause of infection presenting in endemic or epidemic forms. The present study aimed to use molecular methods to identify enterovirus serotypes in clinical specimens to determine their circulation in the community. METHODOLOGY A total of 320 clinical specimens were collected between January 2009 and December 2...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiological study of enteroviruses associated with encephalitis in children from India.
Enteroviruses have been reported in encephalitis cases. However, clinical and epidemiological characteristics of enteroviruses in encephalitis are not fully established. We prospectively investigated 204 children with encephalitis over a period of 2 years (2009 to 2010) for enterovirus. Enterovirus was detected in 45 specimens (22.1%); of these, 40 were typed by seminested reverse transcription...

متن کاملEchovirus type 19 outbreak in Northern Ireland during 1974-75.
DURING 1974-75 there was an outbreak of meningitis associated with echovirus type 19 in Northern Ireland, which was the fourth major enterovirus outbreak during the past seven years. The other outbreaks were associated with echovirus type 6 during 1968 (Connolly and O'Neill, 1970), coxsackie A9 virus during 1970 (Connolly and O'Neill, 1971) and echovirus type 4 during 1970-71 (Connolly and O'Ne...
متن کاملAseptic meningitis in Germany associated with echovirus type 13
BACKGROUND Echoviruses are the commonest cause of aseptic meningitis. Echovirus type 13 which has not been isolated in Germany over a long period of time was the predominant enterovirus serotype associated with different local outbreaks of aseptic meningitis in Germany in 2000. METHODS Virus isolation was performed from cerebrospinal fluid and stools. In order to study the genetic relationshi...
