Picornaviridae (Picornavirus)

Picornaviridae (usually called picornaviruses) are very numerous viruses that cause human diseases in animals, plants and insects. These viruses are named by their small size ( "peak") and possess an RNA genome ( "pico-RNA viruses"). Picornaviruses cause human disease very different from respiratory processes similar to common colds, to polio. These viruses affect many people and are found in respiratory secretions (saliva, sputum, nasal mucus), and feces of infected people. Species any species Enterovirus A, B, C, D, or J, are transmitted through the fecal-oral route and causes mild respiratory infections (common cold), and mouth disease (disease hand, foot and mouth ), hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, neonatal septic disease, and flaccid paralysis.

Two genera Enterovirus and Rhinovirus, based on the ability to infect the enteric tract (replicate 37 and be stable to gastric acid pH), or its ability to infect only the nose and pharynx (by replication at 33 ° C and quenched initially differentiated at acid pH). Enteroviruses were differentiated by their pathogenicity in four groups: poliovirus, Coxsackie A (CA), coxsackievirus B (CB) and Echovirus (Enteric Cytopathogen Human Orphan). However, overlapping features has motivated its reclassification, currently based on phylogenetic studies. As an example, Poliovirus, previously considered a species within the genus Enterovirus, currently considered three serotypes of human enteroviruses species C. Similarly, coxsackie A serotypes have been distributed among the human enteroviruses species A and C. Human Enterovirus Coxsackie B group (CB 1 to 6), like the 28 serotypes Echovirus (E1 to E33, except 8, 10, 22, 23 and 28), are considered human serotypes Enterovirus species B. Similarly, some of the previous enterovirus serotypes (EV-A71, and others) are considered serotypes species Enterovirus human a, while other serotypes considered to be within the species human Enterovirus B, others in the species human Enterovirus C, others in human species, D and other species Enterovirus in J. Similarly over 100 serotypes Rhinovirus have been distributed in three species (Rhinovirus a, B and C). Currently, their number has increased a lot and continue describing species that do not belong to any of the genera admitted so far (eg Kosavirus, Cosavirus, Parechovirus, ...).

Transmission Picornaviridae (Picornavirus)

Direct contact person to person through respiratory secretions, conjunctival, ....

Via fecal-oral through contaminated water or contaminated food.

Indirect contact through contaminated objects.

Tests in IVAMI:

            In IVAMI we can realize the isolation of those who are cultivated in the usual cell lines. However, when not being able to cultivate some of them in the usual cell lines, we recommend the molecular diagnosis performed by RT-PCR, conserved gene, and then sequencing the amplicon obtained to define the species Enterovirus A to D; Rhinovirus A, B or C; and the type of causal virus.
