Characterization of a virus associated with epidemic conjunctivitis in Thailand

C Jayavasu et al. Biken J. 1975 Dec.

Abstract

A strain of virus, named the A-E strain, was isolated from a patient suffering from acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis during an epidemic of the disease in Bangkok in 1972. The virus had the characteristics of an enterovirus but was not neutralized by any known enterovirus antiserum. Cross neutralization tests indicated that the isolate was closely related to the J670-71 virus isolated in Japan. The virus produced conjunctivitis in rabbits and monkeys following conjunctival inoculation.
