Abstract excerpt

To evaluate the genetic variability of human parvovirus B19, the complete coding region of the VP1/VP2 structural proteins of 29 B19 isolates obtained from 25 infected patients were sequenced and compared with each other and with two previously published B19 isolates. The VP1/VP2 gene was amplifi...
