title: Genome type analysis of certain adenovirus serotypes of subgenus D.
abstract: The DNA of 19 wild strains of adenovirus types 10 (AV10), 13, 19, 24, and 27 was analysed by five restriction endonucleases (BamHI, BglII, BstEII, HindIII, and SmaI) for their genetic variability and compared with their respective prototypes. Six "AV19a" strains were identical among each other, even with five additional enzymes, but widely different from the prototype. Strains of AV10, 24, and 27 were identical or only slightly different from the respective prototypes. In contrast, three AV13 strains differed in all enzyme patterns from those of the prototype and from one another.
