Detection and genomic characterization of Aichi viruses in stool samples from children in Monastir, Tunisia

Khira Sdiri-Loulizi et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

Aichi virus has been associated with acute gastroenteritis in adults and children. Stool samples were collected from 788 Tunisian children suffering from diarrhea. Aichi virus was found in 4.1% of the cases. The high proportion of monoinfections and the high frequency of hospitalizations support the role of Aichi virus in pediatric gastroenteritis.

Figures

FIG. 1.

Monthly distribution of Aichi virus in stool samples from children with acute gastroenteritis in Monastir, Tunisia, between January 2003 and April 2007. Abbreviations: J, January; M, March; May; J, July; S, September; N, November.

FIG. 2.

Phylogenetic analysis based on the partial nucleotide sequence (468 bp) of the 3CD-encoding gene of the Aichi virus strains associated with pediatric gastroenteritis in Monastir, Tunisia, between January 2003 and April 2007. The tree was constructed by clustering using the unweighted-pair group method using average linkages. The reference strains are identified in this tree by their GenBank accession numbers. nucl, nucleotides. Number on the scale bar at the top of the figure represent percent similarity of nucleotides.
