New developments in the molecular epidemiology of adenovirus 8 keratoeonjunctivitis

Abstract: Four consecutive epidemics of keratoconjunctivitis caused by adenovirus 8 (Ad8) occurred over a 5-year period in Brest, France. A selection of 30 strains isolated during this period was studied by DNA restriction enzyme analysis using nine restriction enzymes. BglI and SacI were the most discriminative enzymes and allowed the recognition of four DNA variants, all different from the prototype strain Trim. Within each of the epidemics, the strains tested could not be distinguished in this analysis. Between strai… Show more

“…Adrian et al (1990) used six RE patterns in alphabetical order (BamHI, BglII, HindIII, KpnI, SalI and SmaI). Later, BglI, BstEII and SacI were included in successive studies (de Jong et al, 1992;Tanaka et al, 2000). The cleavage pattern of the prototypes for all REs was labelled as enzyme code 1.…”

“…HAdV-8/D1 is, by definition, the DNA variant to which prototype strain Trim belongs. So far, HAdV-8/D1-HAdV-8/D12 have been described (Table 2) (Adrian et al, 1990;de Jong et al, 1992;Tanaka et al, 2000). In this classification system, BglI and HindIII are the most discriminating enzymes, followed by BamHI, BglII and SalI.…”

“…The HAdV-8 clinical strains were HAdV-8b and HAdV-8e, and belonged to different genotypes (Adrian et al, 1990;De Jong et al, 1992). The clinical strains of HAdV-19 and HAdV-37 were HAdV-19a, HAdV-19/1997and HAdV-19/2001, and HAdV-37/1991, HAdV-37/1996and HAdV-37/2004, respectively.…”

“…2 We have found that closely related genomic variants of adenovirus 8 were in circulation in the Strasbourg population during nine years. Unfortunately, we had only limited information about the patients, so it is diYcult to establish the aYliation between these identical strains.…”
