Abstract excerpt
In order to know the phylogenetic relationship and the route of transmission of a variant of coxsackievirus A24 (CA24v), an agent that caused four sequential outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis from 1985 to 1989 in Taiwan, the nucleotide sequence variations in the virus-encoded proteinase 3C region (549 nucleotides) were studied with 19 isolates. The prototype strain (EH24/70), four isolates from Japan,...
