Molecular characterization of human astroviruses in Germany

Arch Virol. 2001;146(3):443-55. doi: 10.1007/s007050170154.

Abstract

The molecular epidemiology of human astroviruses (HAstV) was studied using fecal specimens from different regions in Germany during 1998/99 by RT-PCR and sequencing of ORF2 amplicons. HAstV of genotypes 1-4 were found to cocirculate in Germany. The complete sequence of one isolate representing genogroup 3 (putative serotype 3) was determined.
