چکیده

Human bocavirus (HBoV), a newly cloned human virus of the genus Bocavirus, was detected by PCR from nasopharyngeal swab samples (8 of 318; 5.7%) collected from children with lower respiratory tract infections. HBoV may be one of the causative agents of lower respiratory tract infections in young children.

Human bocavirus infection in children with acute gastroenteritis and healthy controls.

Human bocavirus (HBoV) is a novel virus which can cause respiratory tract disease in infants and children. Recently, the prevalence of this virus was studied worldwide not only in the respiratory tract, but also in the gastrointestinal tract. The results of this study focusing on the HBoV detection in stool samples showed that HBoV could only be found in the stool of children with acute gastroe...

Seroepidemiology of human bocavirus in Hokkaido prefecture, Japan.

A new human virus, provisionally named human bocavirus (HBoV), was discovered by Swedish researchers in 2005. A new immunofluorescence assay using Trichoplusia ni insect cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus expressing the VP1 protein of HBoV was developed, and the levels of immunoglobulin G antibody to the VP1 protein of HBoV in serum samples were measured. The overall seroprevalence r...

ELISAs using human bocavirus VP2 virus-like particles for detection of antibodies against HBoV.

Human bocavirus (HBoV) has been identified worldwide in children with lower respiratory tract infections with an incidence of approximately 2-11%. The role of HBoV in pathogenesis, however, is largely unknown, and little is known about the epidemiology of the virus. To study the seroepidemiology of HBoV infection, the capsid protein was expressed in insect cells. Expression of the putative majo...
