To better understand the extent of ETEC enterotoxin gene diversity, the DNA sequences of the corresponding encoding genes of the heat labile (eltAB) and heat stable
established. The mean distance between B6 sequences and the node separating B6 from B1 is 0.03 and the variation within B6 is 0.038. If the Eskimo ancestors crossed the Bering
The ability of HBV to adapt to the host environment by genetic variation has lead to the evolution of 8 established (A-H) and 2 putative genotypes (I-J), each corresponding to
In conclusion, we have developed a highly sensitive and specific assay for detection and quantification of ETEC in water and by using this method shown that waterborne transmission
The sensitivity was found to be considerably higher compared to phenotypic methods when analysing water samples from an endemic area in Bangladesh, where 67 % of the samples
The decrease in the incidence of ETEC‐caused diarrhoea with age in endemic countries has suggested that natural protection may develop
In this thesis we have studied the epidemiology of diarrhoea associated with infections by diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) with emphasis on enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
