Rotaviruses from Canadian farm samplesSafaa Lamhoujeb
Microbiology Research Division, Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Food Directorate, Health Products and Food Branch, Health Canada, Sir FG Banting Research Centre, P L 2204E, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Arch Virol 155:1127-37. 2010..These results illustrate the active evolution of animal RoV strains and underline the need for surveillance of both animal and human strains in public health-monitoring programs...
Multicenter comparison of two norovirus ORF2-based genotyping protocolsKirsten Mattison
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
J Clin Microbiol 47:3927-32. 2009..4 variants. Standardized genotyping protocols will enable rapid exchange of outbreak and sequence data through electronic norovirus surveillance networks...
Human noroviruses in swine and cattleKirsten Mattison
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Products and Food Branch, Health Canada, Ottawa, Ontario
Emerg Infect Dis 13:1184-8. 2007..4-like strains can be present in livestock. In addition, we detected GII.4-like noroviral RNA from a retail meat sample. This finding highlights a possible route for indirect zoonotic transmission of noroviruses through the food chain...
The feline calicivirus as a sample process control for the detection of food and waterborne RNA virusesKirsten Mattison
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Products and Food Branch, Food Directorate, Health Canada, 251 Sir FG Banting Driveway, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Int J Food Microbiol 132:73-7. 2009..The FCV standard provides a valuable quality control tool when testing potentially contaminated food samples...
Analytical performance of norovirus real-time RT-PCR detection protocols in Canadian laboratoriesKirsten Mattison
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Canada, Ottawa, ON, Canada
J Clin Virol 50:109-13. 2011..Although the accepted target region for molecular detection assays is the conserved ORF1/ORF2 junction, multiple variations have been published with differences in primers, probes, reagents, multiplexing, etc...
Molecular detection and characterization of noroviruses from children in BotswanaKirsten Mattison
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Canada, Ottawa, ON, Canada
J Med Virol 82:321-4. 2010..Genogroup I and genogroup II strains were identified. There was no association between NoV detection and age or gender. This study is the first indication that NoVs circulate widely in Botswana...
Development of a DNA microarray for the simultaneous detection and genotyping of norovirusesFranco Pagotto
Microbiology Research Division, Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Food Directorate, Health Products and Food Branch, Health Canada, Sir FG Banting Research Centre, P L 2204E, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
J Food Prot 71:1434-41. 2008..This approach, combining detection and characterization, overcomes the need for expensive and time-consuming sequence analysis of amplified genome targets for molecular epidemiology...
Development and validation of a microarray for the confirmation and typing of norovirus RT-PCR productsKirsten Mattison
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Canada, Ottawa, Canada
J Virol Methods 173:233-50. 2011..0 as a strain typing tool is the difficulty obtaining a long, specific amplicon from all circulating norovirus strains. Data obtained with the longer region AD amplicon provided the best discrimination between norovirus strains...
Norovirus as a foodborne disease hazardKirsten Mattison
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Canada, PL2204E, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Adv Food Nutr Res 62:1-39. 2011..This review will discuss both the physical characteristics of NoVs and the available epidemiological information with particular reference to the role of foods in NoV transmission...
Detection of noroviruses in ready-to-eat foods by using carbohydrate-coated magnetic beadsVanessa Morton
Bureau of Microbial Hazards, Health Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Appl Environ Microbiol 75:4641-3. 2009..In addition, multiple strains of NoV from genogroups I and II were recovered. This provides an effective protocol for food testing in the investigation of suspected NoV outbreaks...
Rapid and sensitive detection of hepatitis A virus in representative food matricesEfstathia Papafragkou
Department of Food Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695 7624, USA
J Virol Methods 147:177-87. 2008..This is the first application of the automated magnetic capture technology to the concentration of viruses from foods, and it offers promise for facilitating the rapid detection of HAV from naturally contaminated products...
