title: Molecular characterization of enteroviruses detected in Gyeong-Ju and Po-Hang provinces of Korea in 2003.
abstract: We identified and characterized enteroviruses by amplifying the partial VP1 gene from pediatric patients with aseptic meningitis and other enterovirus-related diseases from the Gyeong-Ju and Po-Hang provinces of Korea in 2003. We identified two strains each of coxsackievirus A (CA) 6, CA9, and CA10; three enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains; and six echovirus 30 (E30) strains. The three EV71 strains were characterized as genogroup C4. These results are the first documentation reporting the occurrence of CA10 and EV71 genogroup C4.
