Novel human adenovirus strain, Bangladesh

Emerg Infect Dis. 2012 May;18(5):846-8. doi: 10.3201/eid1805.111584.

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.
