Abstract

Aichi virus is a new member of the family Picornaviridae, genus Kobuvirus, and is associated with human gastroenteritis. This study detected Aichi virus in 28 of 912 fecal specimens which were negative for rotavirus, adenovirus, norovirus, sapovirus, and astrovirus and were collected in Japan, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam during 2002 to 2005.

Phylogenetic tree constructed from the 519-nucleotide sequences between the C terminus of 3C and the N terminus of 3D. Bootstrap values of greater than 70% are shown at the branch nodes. The Aichi virus strains in this study are in boldface. Abbreviations of locations: JPN, Japan; B, Bangladesh; VN, Vietnam; T, Thailand; FR, France; PAK, Pakistan. Aichi virus strains M166/92, N128/91, and N628/92 were isolated from Japanese travelers returning from Malaysia (M) and Indonesia (N).
