title: Novel human parechovirus, Sri Lanka.
abstract: Of 362 fecal samples collected from children with acute gastroenteritis in Sri Lanka during 2005-2006, 30 (8.3%) were positive for human parechovirus (HPeV) by reverse transcription-PCR. A novel HPeV, designated as HPeV10, was identified in 2 samples by sequence analysis of the viral protein 1 gene of the detected HPeVs.
