title: Isolation of a variant of enterovirus 70 from a patient during an epidemic of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis in Pune in 1991.
abstract: We report on the isolation of enterovirus 70 (EV-70) in Pune, India in 1991. The isolate was identified by the neutralization and indirect immunofluorescent antibody tests. The isolate was found to be a prime type of the EV-70 (J670/71) which was isolated by Kono and collaborators in 1971 (Kono et al., 1974).
