Identification of Gastroenteric Viruses by Electron Microscopy Using Higher Order Spectral Features [PDF]
, 2005 Background: Many paediatric illnesses are caused by viral agents, for example, acute gastroenteritis. Electron microscopy can provide images of viral particles and can be used to identify the agents.

Differential in vitro infection of neural cells by astroviruses [PDF]
, 2019 Encephalitis remains a diagnostic conundrum in humans as over 50% of cases are managed without the identification of an etiology. Astroviruses have been detected from the central nervous system of mammals in association with disease, suggesting that this

Serotypes of bovine astrovirus [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1985 Three isolates of bovine astrovirus, one from the United Kingdom and two from the United States, possessed common antigens by immunofluorescence and strain-specific antigens by neutralization and were designated as two, and probably three, distinct serotypes.

Adaptive immunity restricts replication of novel murine astroviruses [PDF]
, 2012 The mechanisms of astrovirus pathogenesis are largely unknown, in part due to a lack of a small-animal model of disease. Using shotgun sequencing and a custom analysis pipeline, we identified two novel astroviruses capable of infecting research mice ...

Evidence for genetic variation in Natterer’s bats (Myotis nattereri) across three regions in Germany but no evidence for co-variation with their associated astroviruses [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: As bats have recently been described to harbor many different viruses, several studies have investigated the genetic co-variation between viruses and different bat species.

High Seropositivity Rate of Neutralizing Antibodies to Astrovirus VA1 in Human Populations
mSphere, 2021 Astroviruses are human pathogens with emerging disease associations, including the recent recognition of their capacity to cause meningoencephalitis. Astrovirus VA1 is the most commonly identified astrovirus genotype from cases of human encephalitis, but

Acute viral gastroenteritis in children hospitalized in Iksan, Korea during December 2010-June 2011 [PDF]
, 2013 PurposeViral etiology is common in cases of children with acute diarrhea, and antibiotic therapy is usually not required. Therefore, it is important to determine the distribution of common viruses among children hospitalized with acute diarrhea.MethodsWe

Human Astrovirus Propagation, Purification and Quantification
Bio-Protocol, 2014 Astrovirus are small, nonenveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses that cause diarrhea in a wide variety of mammals and birds. Here, we describe astrovirus propagation, purification and titration. The Caco-2 human intestinal adenocarcinoma cell line is most
