Infection and Disease in a Group of South Indian Families Iii: Virological Methods and a Report of the Frequency of Enteroviral Infection in Preschool Children1

An epidemic of acute diarrhoea in rural southern India associated with echovirus type 11 infection

“…The virus isolations in July confirmed that there is a high rate of enterovirus infection in this population (Feldman et al 1970;Mathan & Baker, 1971) …”

Non‐polio enteroviruses in acute flaccid paralysis children of India: Vital assessment before polio eradication

“…During the study, 32% NPEV isolates remained as UT‐NPEV. In the previous studies, the frequency of UT‐EV isolates among NPEVs was reported to be as high as 50% 3 . RT–PCR was carried out for the specimen with UT‐NPEV by virus neutralization.…”

“…In the previous studies, the frequency of UT-EV isolates among NPEVs was reported to be as high as 50%. 3 RT-PCR was carried out for the specimen with UT-NPEV by virus neutralization. Previous studies reported that RT-PCR aimed at 5′UTR region is highly sensitive in EV detection from stools of AFP patients, and suggested interspecies recombination involving this region.…”

“…Poliomyelitis is still endemic in India, and because of its greater public health importance, other non‐polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) were rarely studied. Very few reports on the isolation and epidemiology of NPEV are available from India 1–4 …”

“…Very few reports on the isolation and epidemiology of NPEV are available from India. [1][2][3][4] Enteroviruses (EVs) are among the most common viruses infecting population worldwide. Children are at greater risk of infections from serious enteric viral illness than adults for a number of reasons.…”
