Emerg Infect Dis. 2013 Nov;19(11):1877-80. doi: 10.3201/eid1911.130601.

Abstract

We detected human bocavirus in 89 (19.3%) of 462 fecal samples collected during 3 periods from 1985 through 2010 from children <5 years of age in Chile who were hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis. Our findings confirm the long-term circulation of human bocavirus in Chile.

Keywords: Chile; acute gastroenteritis; children; human bocavirus; viruses.
