Human adenovirus type 8: the major agent of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC).

Journal of clinical virology : the official publication of the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology - 1 Dec 2014

Adhikary Arun Kumar, Banik Urmila

Abstract excerpt

Human adenovirus type 8 (HAdV-8) is the most common causative agent of a highly contagious eye disease known as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC). HAdV-8 strains have been classified into genome types HAdV-8A to 8K and HAdV/D1 to D12 according to restriction endonuclease analysis. This review focuses on the significance of HAdV-8 as an agent of EKC. Molecular analysis of HAdV-8 genome types HAdV-53 and HAdV-54...
