Norovirus (NoV) is a major cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE). In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity of NoV strains identified in children under 5 years of age with AGE in four provinces of Angola. Faecal samples from 343 children were screened for NoV by an in house real-time PCR assay and genotyping was […]

Molecular epidemiology of rotavirus in four provinces of Angola before vaccine introduction

  • Autores: Dimbu R, Esteves A, Fortes F, Istrate C, Mendes C, Nordgren J, Pereira J, Saraiva N
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: Journal of Medical Virology

Angola is a sub-Saharan country in southern Africa highly affected by diarrhoeal disease with limited epidemiological data regarding etiologic agents. This study was performed during 2012-2013, prior to rotavirus vaccine introduction, with the objective to detect and characterize the rotavirus strains circulating in four provinces of the country: Huambo, Luanda, Zaire, and Cabinda. A high […]
