[The molecular genetic characteristic of RNA of human enterovirus detected in bio-test from child with serous meningitis].

The article considers molecular genetic characteristic of RNA of human enterovirus detected in bio-test from child with serous meningitis. The nucleotide sequence of genome DNA is analyzed. In 98% it is identical to corresponding nucleotide sequences of strains of human enterovirus A serotype 71 detected in China.

[The separation, identification and molecular biologic analysis of isolates of pandemic influenza virus A(H1N1)pdm09].

The article presents data concerning analysis of bioassays under suspicion of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09. The technique of back transcription polymerase chain reaction and sequencing was applied. The separation of native influenza virus A was implemented using passaging through developing chick embryos.

[Experimental assessment of the possible significance of argasid ticks in preserving the natural foci of West Nile virus infection].

Experiments indicated that the argasid ticks Alveonasus lahorensis were highly susceptible to West Nile virus when inoculated in the hemocoel. The virus concentration in the ticks reached high values when very low doses (0.01 PFU) of the pathogen were administered.
