“…Availability of effective transport systems makes viral isolation a realistic approach for diagnosing many clinically significant virus infections including HSV (44), VZV (66), adenoviruses (70), reoviruses (24,68), togaviruses (13), parainfluenza viruses (28), mumps virus (52), RSV (5), influenza viruses (38), bunyaviruses (14), arenaviruses (48), the enteroviruses (including poliovirus, coxsackieviruses, and echoviruses) (37), and rhinoviruses (3).…”

The diagnosis of viral infections by culture relies on the collection of proper specimens, proper care to protect the virus in the specimens from environmental damage, and use of an adequate transport system to maintain virus activity. Collection of specimens with swabs that are toxic to either virus or cell culture should be avoided. A variety of transport media have been formulated, beginning with early bacteriological transport media. Certain swab-tube combinations have proven to be both effective and convenient. Of the liquid transport media, sucrose-based and broth-based media appear to be the most widely accepted and used. Studies on virus stability show that most viruses tested are sufficiently stable in transport media to withstand a transport time of 1 to 3 days. Some viruses may withstand longer transport times. In many cases, it is not necessary to store virus specimens in a refrigerator or send them to the laboratory on wet ice or frozen on dry ice. However, the specimen should not be exposed to environmental extremes. Modern viral transport media allow for more effective use of viral culture and culture enhancement techniques for the diagnosis of human viral infections.

“…Ten CVB4 virus strains, isolated in the Netherlands between 1974 and 1990 were obtained from the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection, Bilthoven (RIVM), The Netherlands. Another 12 enteroviruses of different strains were isolated in the Academic Hospital Nijmegen between 1981 and 1994 and were routinely serotyped with a set of typing sera from the RIVM [29]. The enteroviruses were subdivided into the group of polio-like (PV-like) viruses and CVB-like viruses as classified by Hyypiä et al [30].…”

Objective: Echovirus 11 is one of the most frequently isolated enterovirus serotypes, causing a wide range of clinical diseases. We studied the genetic diversity in the 3′ end of the VP1 gene of strains from different geographical origin in the world. Methods: The sequences in the 3′ end of the VP1 of 11 Tunisian isolates were determined and aligned with the published sequences to establish a phylogenetic profile. Results: The grouping of the sequences was similar to what was previously reported by analyzing the whole VP1 gene with 4 genogroups, designated A–D, and 5 lineages in genogroup D. All Tunisian strains belonged to genogroup D, together with other sequences mainly from the USA and Europe. Contrary to the sequences from the USA isolated during the last 3 decades, which mostly belonged to the D4 lineage, those from Tunisia belonged to different lineages within genogroup D according to their isolation date: isolates from the early 1990s belonged to D3, those of the mid 1990s to D4 and the most recent ones to D5. Conclusion: Our findings further widen the interest of partial sequencing in the VP1 to study the molecular epidemiology of echovirus 11 and indicate that the genetic evolution of circulating strains may differ from one country to another according to the region’s epidemiological specificities.
