Characterisation of an epidemic of hepatitis A virus involving intravenous drug abusers--infection by needle sharing?B Grinde
Department of Virology, National Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway
J Med Virol 53:69-75. 1997..This observation and the large number of patients with a demonstrable viremia suggest that needle sharing may contribute to the dissemination of HAV...
A unique hepatitis A virus strain caused an epidemic in Norway associated with intravenous drug abuse. The Hepatitis A Study GroupK Stene-Johansen
Department of Virology, National Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway
Scand J Infect Dis 30:35-8. 1998..By early detection of an outbreak, by epidemic survey and sequence analysis, preventive measures can be applied, and thereby limit the epidemic at an early stage...
Molecular epidemiology of calicivirus infections in NorwayK Vainio
Department of Virology, National Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway
J Med Virol 65:309-14. 2001..Most often, samples from particular outbreaks were highly homogeneous. However, in a few cases, samples connected with the same outbreak proved to contain epidemiologically independent strains...
High prevalence of TT virus-related DNA (90%) and diverse viral genotypes in Norwegian blood donorsL Y Huang
Department of Virology, National Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway
J Med Virol 64:381-6. 2001..The data suggest that the previous discrepancy in prevalences might be related to a lower serum concentration of virus in developed countries. The high prevalence adds evidence to the benign nature of the virus...
Detection of hepatitis A virus in clinical and environmental samples by immunomagnetic separation and PCRC Monceyron
Department of Virology, National Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway
J Virol Methods 46:157-66. 1994..The above technique was shown to be useful for the detection of a laboratory strain of HAV added to polluted river water, sea water and fecal extracts...
Effects of the medicinal mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill on immunity, infection and cancerG Hetland
Department of Immunology and Transfusion Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
Scand J Immunol 68:363-70. 2008..We also present some novel findings, which point to highly different biological potency between AbM extracts of different source and manufacturing...
Molecular epidemiology of TTV-like mini virus in NorwayE M Moen
Department of Virology, National Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway
Arch Virol 147:181-5. 2002..08). Sequence analysis revealed considerable heterogeneity of Norwegian TLMV as compared to international sequences, suggesting that TLMV is efficiently dispersed in human populations...
Effects on gene expression and viral load of a medicinal extract from Agaricus blazei in patients with chronic hepatitis C infectionB Grinde
