Genome Sequences of Parvovirus B19 Reference Strains
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here the sequences of two reference strains of parvovirus B19 (B19V) used for quantitation of B19V DNA. One reference strain has been established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the other by the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.) and belong to B19V genotype 1a1 and 1a2, respectively.

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) can cause infection in humans. To date, three genotypes of B19V, with subtypes, are known, of which genotype 1a is the most prevalent genotype in the Western world. We sequenced the genome of B19V strains of 65 asymptomatic, recently infected Dutch blood donors, to investigate the spatio-temporal distribution of B19V strains, in the years 2003-2009. The sequences were comp...
متن کاملIdentification and genetic diversity of two human parvovirus B19 genotype 3 subtypes.
Three genotypes (1-3) of human parvovirus B19 have been identified. Analysis of 13 nearly full-length genotype 3 sequences from Ghana, Europe and Brazil identified two genetically distinct clusters. The classification of genotype 3 strains into two subtypes (B19/3a and B19/3b) is proposed. The rate of evolutionary change of B19 genotype 3 strains (2 x 10(-4) nucleotide substitutions per site pe...
متن کاملDevelopment of a chemiluminescence competitive PCR for the detection and quantification of parvovirus B19 DNA using a microplate luminometer.
BACKGROUND Quantitative PCR of viral nucleic acids can be useful clinically in diagnosis, risk assessment, and monitoring of antiviral therapy. We wished to develop a chemiluminescence competitive PCR (cPCR) for parvovirus B19. METHODS Parvovirus DNA target sequences and competitor sequences were coamplified and directly labeled. Amplified products were then separately hybridized by specific ...
متن کاملPersistence of parvovirus B19 in synovial fluid and bone marrow.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether parvovirus B19 (B19) persists in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect parvovirus B19 genome in the synovial fluid cells or peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 61 patients with early RA; bone marrow from one patient was also studied. The synovium or synovial fluid cells from 28 patients with advanced RA, and s...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence and genome organization of human parvovirus B19 isolated from the serum of a child during aplastic crisis.
The nucleotide sequence of an almost-full-length clone of human parvovirus B19 was determined. Whereas the extreme left and right ends of this genomic clone are incomplete, the sequence clearly indicates that the two ends of viral DNA are related by inverted terminal repeats similar to those of the Dependovirus genus. The coding regions are complete in the cloned DNA, and the two large open rea...
