Background Acute respiratory illnesses and influenza-like (ILI) are a significant source of morbidity mortality worldwide. Despite the public health importance, little is known about etiology these acute in many regions South America. In 2006, Peruvian Ministry Health (MoH) US Naval Medical Research Center Detachment (NMRCD) initiated collaboration to characterize viral agents associated with ILI describe clinical epidemiological presentation affected population. Methodology/Principal...
Background We describe the temporal variation in viral agents detected influenza like illness (ILI) patients before and after appearance of ongoing pandemic A (H1N1) (pH1N1) Peru between 4-January 13-July 2009. Methods At health centers, one oropharyngeal swab was obtained for isolation. From epidemiological week (EW) 1 to 18, at US Naval Medical Research Center Detachment (NMRCD) Lima, specimens were inoculated into four cell lines virus In addition, from EW 19 28, also analyzed by real...
To determine the molecular epidemiology of seven coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) strains previously reported by this research group.Full-length VP1 and VP4 sequences were obtained phylogenetic analyses performed.Six classified as genotype C. Moreover, one divergent strain not clustered in any three currently genotypes was found.This is first report CVA16 Peru provides valuable baseline data about its potential distribution South America, well evidence a that has never before been reported.
Enteroviruses (EVs) are a common cause of respiratory tract infections and classified into seven species (EVA-D rhinoviruses [RHVs] A-C) with more than 200 different serotypes. Little is known about the role non-RHV EVs in South America. The aim this study was to describe epidemiology detected patients influenza-like illness enrolled passive surveillance network Peru. Throat swabs epidemiological data were collected from participants after obtaining verbal consent. Viral isolation performed...
