PCR detection of pathogenic viruses in southern California urban rivers.
AIMS To investigate human viral contamination in urban rivers and its impact on coastal waters of southern California, USA. METHODS AND RESULTS Three types of human viruses (adeno, entero and hepatitis A) were detected using nested- and RT-PCR from 11 rivers and creeks. Faecal indicator bacteria as well as somatic and F-specific coliphage were also tested. Approximately 50% of the sites were ...
متن کاملDetection of Human Influenza Viruses in Nasopharyngeal Samples by RT-PCR vs Tissue Culture
Background and Aims: Influenza virus is a major pathogen involved in respiratory illnesses during winter seasons. A variety of diagnostic methods have been developed to identify influenza viruses in clinical specimen. Methods: Nasal and pharyngeal samples taken from patients were inoculated into Madin-Darby canine kidney (MOCK) cells and embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs). The culture media was a...
متن کاملDetection and differentiation of antigenically distinct small round-structured viruses (Norwalk-like viruses) by reverse transcription-PCR and southern hybridization.
Application of reverse transcription (RT)-PCR to detect small round-structured viruses (SRSVs) from fecal specimens of patients with gastroenteritis has been insensitive because of the tremendous sequence heterogeneity between strains. We have designed two RT-PCR primer sets (G-1 and G-2) based on the nucleotide sequence diversity in the RNA polymerase gene of SRSVs belonging to two distinct ge...
متن کاملMolecular detection of pathogenic Leptospira in Iran
Leptospirosis is an acute infectious, systemic and septisemic disease which had recent outbreaks in some parts of Iran especially in north provinces. Rapid detection is a critical step for treatment and control of this disease. In this research a PCR based method was evaluated for detection of Iranian local endemic serovars. All reported endemic serovars of Leptospira including Leptospira gri...
متن کاملSylvatic dengue viruses share the pathogenic potential of urban/endemic dengue viruses.
Dengue virus (DENV) exists in both sylvatic and urban/ endemic ecotypes (15), and the potential for emergence of sylvatic strains has become a focus of research. Recently Mota and Rico-Hesse (10) attempted to evaluate the pathogenic potential of viruses belonging to different genetic subgroups of DENV serotype 2 (DENV-2). Based on the viremia levels and erythema index profiles of one sylvatic g...
