TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses and sequence comparisons showed that SARS-CoV is not closelyrelated to any of the previouslycharacterized coronaviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitive, seminested PCR amplification of VP1 sequences for direct identification of all enterovirus serotypes from original clinical specimens.
TL;DR: The VP1 sequences derived from the RT-snPCR products allow rapid phylogenetic and molecular epidemiologic analysis of strains circulating during the EV season and comparison with EV sequences from past seasons or from different locations around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kevin Messacar,Teri Schreiner,John A Maloney,Adam Wallace,Jan Ludke,M Stephen Oberste,W. Allan Nix,Christine C. Robinson,Mary P. Glode,Mark J. Abzug,Samuel R. Dominguez +10 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest the possibility of an association between enterovirus D68 and neurological disease in children and development of effective antiviral or immunomodulatory therapies and vaccines should become scientific priorities.
Journal ArticleDOI
