Genetic diversity of human parvovirus B19 determined using a set of restriction endonucleases recognizing four or five base pairs and partial nucleotide sequencing: use of sequence variability in virus classification.

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of the restriction site polymorphism (RSP) of human parvovirus B19 using 12 restriction endonucleases (REs) recognizing four or five bp sequences (4- or 5-bp REs) revealed a significant difference between strains previously classified as being of the same genome type, and a relationship...
