Abstract: Novel Human Adenovirus Strain, Bangladesh

Below is the abstract of an article to appear in Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 18, Number 5 - May 2012.


Abstract

We report a novel human adenovirus D (HAdV-65) isolated from feces of 4 children in Bangladesh who had acute gastroenteritis. Corresponding genes of HAdV-65 were related to a hexon gene of HAdV-10, penton base genes of HAdV-37 and HAdV-58, and a fiber gene of HAdV-9. This novel virus may be a serious threat to public health.
