Abstract
Recently Identified Novel Human Astroviruses in Children with Diarrhea, China
Highlights
A total of 320 (44.3%) samples were positive for rotavirus and 102 (14.1%), 27 (3.7%), and 32 (4.4%) for caliciviruses, adenoviruses, and astroviruses, respectively
We found no statistically significant difference (χ2 = 1.547, p = 0.214) between the detection rates of novel astroviruses in Lanzhou and Nanjing
Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that the AstV-MLB1 isolates in this study had 98.64% homology, with 99.65% identity at the amino acid level in open reading frame 1b region
Summary
To the Editor: Human astroviruses (HAstVs), first identified in 1975, are considered an important cause of viral gastroenteritis, predominately infecting children
