Human and animal enteric caliciviruses in oysters from different coastal regions of the United States.
Food-borne diseases are a major cause of morbidity and hospitalization worldwide. Enteric caliciviruses are capable of persisting in the environment and in the tissues of shellfish. Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) have been implicated in outbreaks linked to shellfish consumption. The genetic and antigenic relatedness between human and animal enteric caliciviruses suggests that interspecies transmiss...
متن کاملSummary of the first international workshop on human caliciviruses.
The First International Workshop on Human Caliciviruses was held from 29 to 31 March 1999 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The attendance of over 100 scientists specializing in diverse fields (including civilian and military clinical medicine, basic research, epidemiology, public health, food and water safety, environmental protection, and veterinary medicine) from ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of noncultivatable gastroenteritis viruses, the human caliciviruses.
Gastroenteritis is one of the most common illnesses of humans, and many different viruses have been causally associated with this disease. Of those enteric viruses that have been established as etiologic agents of gastroenteritis, only the human caliciviruses cannot be cultivated in vitro. The cloning of Norwalk virus and subsequently of other human caliciviruses has led to the development of s...
متن کاملConcentration and detection of caliciviruses in water samples by reverse transcription-PCR.
Human caliciviruses (HuCVs) cause waterborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Standard indicators of a safe water supply do not adequately predict contamination of water by viruses, including HuCVs. We developed a method to concentrate and detect HuCVs in water samples by using a cultivable primate calicivirus (Pan-1) as a model. Viable Pan-1 was seeded in different types of water and then filtere...
متن کاملMolecular approaches for detection and identification of foodborne pathogens
Foodborne pathogens comprise microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and parasites that can be transmitted by food and affect public health worldwide. The most common viruses transmitted via food are hepatitis A virus and Norwalk-like caliciviruses. Also, the most common bacteria involved in foodborne illnesses are Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp, Escherichia...
