A non-enteric adenovirus A12 gastroenteritis outbreak in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil portes2016non
This study investigates a gastroenteritis outbreak in 2013 in a low-income community in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, focusing on the presence of enteric viruses. The study involved nine patients, with stool samples collected and analyzed for various viruses, including adenovirus. The outbreak was characterized by symptoms such as fever and diarrhea, and adenovirus A12 was identified as the primary pathogen. The study utilized TaqMan real-time PCR to assess viral loads in stool samples, revealing high viral loads in patients with adenovirus A12. The research highlights the importance of identifying unique viral agents in regions with routine RVA vaccination.

Viral load of adenovirus in stool samples measured using TaqMan real-time PCR assay targeting the conserved region of the HAdV hexon.
Measurements only — no shedding model is fitted to this analyte, usually because it is sampled once per participant, leaving no trajectory to fit, or because nothing was ever detected. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the assay's censoring limit. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
