Description
Summary:A nested polymerase chain reaction method using genotype-specific primers based on the capsid gene was developed to differentiate between genotypes A and B of Aichi viruses. Results of the study showed that the PCR using newly designed genotype-specific primers could generate appropriate PCR products from all 17 samples tested, the newly developed primers could differentiate genotype A from genotype B, and all matched those obtained by nucleotide sequencing of the capsid regions. The nested PCR method using genotype-specific primers is useful and can be used for genotyping of Aichi viruses isolated from epidemiological studies. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
