Molecular biology and epidemiology of Aichi virus and other diarrhoeogenic enteroviruses 2004-09-14 .txt text/plain 3009 157 50 Stool samples from adult patients in six oyster-associated gastroenteritis outbreaks were examined for variation, based on their reactivity with a monoclonal antibody raised against the standard strain (A486/88) and on reverse transcription–polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) of three genomic regions. Aichi virus was isolated in Vero cells from 7 (12.5%) of 56 patients in 6 gastroenteritis outbreaks, 5 (0.7%) of 722 Japanese travelers returning from tours to Southeast Asian countries and complaining of gastrointestinal symptoms at the quarantine station of Nagoya International Airport in Japan, and 5(2.3%) of 222 Pakistani children with gastroenteritis (Yamashita et al., 1993; Yamashita et al., 1995) . In the ELISA, 15 (26.8%) of 56 stool samples from adult patients in six oyster-associated gastroenteritis outbreaks were found to be positive for Aichi virus. The Aichi virus RNA was detected in 54 (55%) of 99 fecal specimens from patients in 12 (32%) of 37 outbreaks of gastroenteritis in Japan. ./cache/cord-010189-makhaypd.txt ./txt/cord-010189-makhaypd.txt
