JC virus (JCV) strains worldwide can be classified into various genotypes based on DNA sequence variations. To define the domains of the four major JCV genotypes in Asia, we collected urine samples at six unstudied sites: three in southeastern Asia, two in the central highlands and one in central Asia. DNA was extracted from urine samples, and used to amplify a 610-bp region of the viral genome. For each...
