Alexandre da Costa Linhares,Yvone Benchimol Gabbay,Joana D'Arc Pereira Mascarenhas,R. B. de Freitas,C. S. Oliveira,Newton Bellesi,Talita Antônia Furtado Monteiro,Zea Lins-Lainson,Francisco Lúzio de Paula Ramos,Sebastião Aldo da Silva Valente +9 more
TL;DR: Results are sufficiently encouraging to warrant further studies of this vaccine in developing countries using a higher dosage in an attempt to improve its immunogenicity and efficacy.

Neonatal rotavirus infection in Belém, northern Brazil: nosocomial transmission of a P[6] G2 strain.
Alexandre da Costa Linhares,Joana D'Arc Pereira Mascarenhas,Rosa Helena P Gusmão,Yvone Benchimol Gabbay,Alexandre Madi Fialho,José Paulo Gagliardi Leite +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first report from Brazil describing nosocomial transmission of P[6]G2 rotavirus strains among neonates and results being further confirmed by Southern hybridization.

Safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of two doses of RIX4414 live attenuated human rotavirus vaccine in healthy infants.
Eliete da Cunha Araújo,Sue Ann Costa Clemens,Consuelo Silva de Oliveira,Maria Cleonice Aguiar Justino,Pilar Rubio,Yvone Benchimol Gabbay,Veronilce B. da Silva,Joana D'Arc Pereira Mascarenhas,Vânia Lúcia Noronha,Ralf Clemens,Rosa Helena P Gusmão,Nervo Sanchez,Talita Antônia Furtado Monteiro,Alexandre da Costa Linhares +13 more
TL;DR: RIX4414 was highly immunogenic with a low reactogenicity profile and did not interfere with seroresponse to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Hib antigens and provided significant protection against severe GE caused by RV.
58
Detection of a neonatal human rotavirus strain with VP4 and NSP4 genes of porcine origin.
Joana D'Arc Pereira Mascarenhas,José Paulo Gagliardi Leite,Jackson C. Lima,Marcos Bryan Heinemann,Darleise de Souza Oliveira,Irene Trigueiros Araújo,Luana da Silva Soares,Rosa Helena P Gusmão,Yvone Benchimol Gabbay,Alexandre da Costa Linhares +9 more
TL;DR: This is believed to be the first report in Brazil of a rotavirus infection involving a strain with G1 and G4 alleles, with VP8* and NSP4 genes of porcine origin, with the occurrence of interspecies transmission.

Rotavirus subgroups, G serotypes, and electrophoretypes in cases of nosocomial infantile diarrhoea in Belém, Brazil
Rosa Helena P Gusmão,Joana D'Arc Pereira Mascarenhas,Yvone Benchimol Gabbay,Zea Lins-Lainson,Francisco Lúzio de Paula Ramos,Talita Antônia Furtado Monteiro,Sebastião Aldo da Silva Valente,U. Fagundes-Neto,Alexandre da Costa Linhares +8 more
TL;DR: The rotavirus-related episodes of diarrhoea were more severe than those of other aetiology and greater clinical severity was not related to a specific G type, subgroup, or electrophoretype.
