Detection and genetic characterization of cosavirus in a pediatric patient with diarrhea.

Human cosavirus (HCoSV) is a newly discovered virus of the family Picornaviridae. A total of 411 fecal specimens were collected from children admitted to hospitals with acute gastroenteritis symptoms in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2010-2011 and screened for HCoSV by an RT-nested PCR method. HCoSV was f...
