Abstract

Human bocavirus (HBoV) was detected in 14 (2%) of 705 fecal specimens from Brazilian children with gastroenteritis. Coinfection with rotavirus, adenovirus, or norovirus was found in 3 (21.4%) HBoV-positive specimens. None of the HBoV-positive patients had respiratory symptoms.

Phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequences of the nonstructural protein 1 gene of enteric strains of human bocavirus from Brazil. The dendrogram was constructed with the Clustal W algorithm of the MegAlign program in the Lasegene software package (DNASTAR, Madison, WI, USA). The length of each pair of branches represents the distance between sequence pairs. Dashed lines on a phenogram indicate a negative branch length. GenBank accession nos. are shown with strains.
