Abstract excerpt
A total of 122 adenovirus type 4 (Ad4) strains isolated from patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis at an eye clinic in Sapporo, Japan, from 1985 to 1989 were identified as Ad4a. By the use of HinfI and TaqI restriction endonucleases, these Ad4a strains were classified into 12 subgenome types. During this observation period, two epidemics of Ad4 infection relating to epidemic keratoconjunctivitis occurred....
