• Complete genomic characterization of an intertypic Sabin 3/Sabin 2 capsid recombinant 

      Dedepsidis, E.; Pliaka, V.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Brakoulias, C.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Pratti, A.; Mamuris, Z.; Markoulatos, P. (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 

      Pliaka, V.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Tsakogiannis, D.; Ruether, I. G. A.; Gartzonika, C.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Krikelis, A.; Markoulatos, P. (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 ...
    • Growth kinetic analysis of bi-recombinant poliovirus vaccine strains 

      Pliaka, V.; Dedepsidis, E.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Papadi, G.; Tsakogiannis, D.; Pratti, A.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Markoulatos, P. (2010)
      Attenuated strains of Sabin poliovirus vaccine replicate in the human gut and in rare cases may cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). Mutations at specific sites of the genome and recombination between ...
