Molecular and biological characteristics of echovirus 22, a representative of a new picornavirus group

Abstract excerpt

Recent sequence analysis revealed that the human pathogen echovirus 22 (EV22) is genetically distant from all the other picornaviruses studied to date (T. Hyypiä, C. Horsnell, M. Maaronen, M.
