Isolation and Molecular Characterization of a Novel Type 3 Reovirus from a Child with Meningitis
21 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian reoviruses are non-enveloped viruses that contain a segmented, double-stranded RNA genome. Reoviruses infect most mammalian species, although infection with these viruses in humans is usually asymptomatic. We report the isolation of a novel reovirus strain from a 6.5-week-old child with meningitis.
