Complete genomic characterization of an intertypic Sabin 3/Sabin 2 capsid recombinant
(2008)The genetic properties of strain K/2002, isolated from fecal samples of a 7-month-old child who had received his first oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) dose at the age of 3 months, are described. Preliminary sequencing ... -
Correlation of mutations and recombination with growth kinetics of poliovirus vaccine strains
(2010)Attenuated strains of Sabin poliovirus vaccine replicate in the human gut and, in rare cases, may cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). The genetic instability of Sabin strains constitutes one of the ... -
Determination of antigenic properties of vaccine derived poliovirus strains
(2010)In this study, the immunity level of the southern Greek population in the 1-10-year, 11-20-year, 21-30-year and 31-40-year age groups with regard to Sabin vaccine strains and a collection of 11 recombinant and three ... -
Genomic analysis of recombinant Sabin clinical isolates
(2006)Recombination in Poliovirus vaccine strains is a very frequent phenomenon. In this report 23 polio/Sabin strains isolated from healthy vaccinees or from VAPP patients after OPV administration, were investigated in order ... -
Improved genotyping vaccine and wild-type poliovirus strains by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis: Clinical diagnostic implications
(2000)The combination of preventive vaccination and diagnostic typing of viral isolates from patients with clinical poliomyelitis constitutes our main protective shield against polioviruses. The restriction fragment length ... -
Membrane adsorption with direct cell culture combined with reverse transcription-PCR as a fast method for identifying enteroviruses from sewage
(2005)We present a new approach for the detection and identification of enteroviruses concentrated and isolated from sewage. Samples were collected from two study sites located at Nicosia and Limassol sewage treatment plants in ... -
Molecular characterization of wild-type polioviruses isolated in Greece during the 1996 outbreak in Albania
(2006)During the present study three type 1 poliovirus strains isolated in Greece during the 1996 poliomyelitis outbreak in Albania were retrospectively investigated and determination of their relationship with other epidemic ... -
Molecular identification of enteroviruses responsible for an outbreak of aseptic meningitis; implications in clinical practice and epidemiology
(2004)An outbreak of aseptic meningitis was recorded in Greece during the year 2001. Detection of the clinical strains was achieved by performing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on RNA isolated from cell ... -
A new RT-PCR assay for the identification of the predominant recombination types in 2C and 3D genomic regions of vaccine-derived poliovirus strains
(2010)In the post-eradication era of wild polioviruses, the only remaining sources of poliovirus infection worldwide would be the vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs). As the preponderance of countries certified to be polio-free ... -
PCR assays for the identification of rare recombination types from VP1 to 3D genomic region of vaccine derived poliovirus strains
(2014)Poliomyelitis has been effectively controlled by the use of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) or trivalent live attenuated oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). Since 1964, the use of OPV in mass vaccinations has resulted in ... -
Retrospective characterization of a vaccine-derived poliovirus type 1 isolate from sewage in greece
(2007)Retrospective molecular and phenotypic characterization of a vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) type 1 isolate (7/b/97) isolated from sewage in Athens, Greece, in 1997 is reported. VP1 sequencing of this isolate revealed ...
