“…Adenoviruses are icosahedral, non-enveloped DNA viruses, with genomes of approximately 26–45 kb in length ( Kajon et al, 2019 ). They were first isolated from civilians and army recruits who showed symptoms of other respiratory diseases ( Zaghloul, 2012 ). Viral infection typically can cause pneumonia, cystitis, conjunctivitis, hepatitis, myocarditis, intussusception, encephalitis and is one of the causes of the common cold ( Zaghloul, 2012 ).…”

While many serotypes of the virus are thought to cause upper respiratory infection, serotypes 40 and 41 are known causes of gastroenteritis.…”

Recent Developments in Isothermal Amplification Methods for the Detection of Foodborne Viruses

Foodborne and enteric viruses continue to impose a significant public health and economic burden globally. As many of these viruses are highly transmissible, the ability to detect them portably, sensitively, and rapidly is critical to reduce their spread. Although still considered a gold standard for detection of these viruses, real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technologies have limitations such as limited portability, need for extensive sample processing/extraction, and long time to result. In particular, the limitations related to the susceptibility of real time PCR methods to potential inhibitory substances present in food and environmental samples is a continuing challenge, as the need for extensive nucleic acid purification prior to their use compromises the portability and rapidity of such methods. Isothermal amplification methods have been the subject of much investigation for these viruses, as these techniques have been found to be comparable to or better than established PCR-based methods in portability, sensitivity, specificity, rapidity, and simplicity of sample processing. The purpose of this review is to survey and compare reports of these isothermal amplification methods developed for foodborne and enteric viruses, with a special focus on the performance of these methods in the presence of complex matrices.

“…Infections most often occur in children who are less than 2 years but have also been found in children of all ages. Adenoviruses have an incubation period of about 8 to 10 days with symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and fever occurring in most cases of the infection [7][8][9]. Diarrhea caused by adenoviruses typically last longer than those caused by rotaviruses, usually lasting for about 7 to 8 days.…”

Background: Viral gastroenteritis is still a major public health challenge in the Sub-Sahara Africa, with Rotavirus and Adenovirus as the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis among children. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Rotavirus and Adenovirus co-infection and associated risk factors among apparently healthy school aged children with history of diarrhea in Ilishan-Remo community of Ogun State, Nigeria. Study Design: This is a descriptive-epidemiological survey. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria, between March and May, 2019. Methodology: A total of 60 children (24 males and 36 females) were recruited and their stool samples were examined using the SD Bioline Rota/Adeno virus antigen rapid test kits (Standard Diagnostics, INC., South-Korea) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The demographic and clinical information of the participants were collected using structured questionnaires. Results: Three, 3 (5.0%) out of the 60 participants screened, were mono-infected with Rotavirus, 2 (3.3%) were mono-infected with Adenovirus, while only 1 (1.7%) of them was co-infected with both Rotavirus and Adenovirus. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the prevalence of mono/co-infection with Rotavirus and Adenovirus among the study participants on the basis of age and gender. Lack of knowledge of Rotavirus and Adenovirus, history of diarrhea, eating of raw unwashed fruits and vegetables, poor hand hygiene after playing with toys and peers, and lack of regular medical check-up are some of the risk factors identified in this study. Conclusion: The outcome of this study shows that mono/co-infection with Rotavirus and Adenovirus exist among apparently healthy school aged children with history of diarrhea in Ilishan-Remo community of Ogun State, Nigeria with a prevalence rate of 5.0%, 3.3% and 1.7%, respectively. Appropriate public health measures must therefore be taken to halt the cycle of infection in the community to forestall possible outbreak in the future.
