β¦ Synopsis
Adenovirus type 7 is the type most frequently associated with serious disease. Eighteen different genome types of adenovjrus type 7 had been reported up to October 1986. The genome type Ad7c, based on the restriction enzyme profiles of SmaI and BarnH1, has been reported from Europe prior to 1969 and more recently from South Africa. Here, we report two new genome types of ademvirus 7c !hat have not previously been identified and that have been isolated in South Africa between 1975 afid 1986 from children with postmeasles pneumonia. The two new genome types differ from the prototype Ad7c virus in having two (Ad7ci) or one (Ad7cZf extra cleavage sites for the restriction endonuclease EcoRI. These sites have been located at 3.68kb and 5.32kb from the left terminus of the genome map published for the prototype. Ad7c strain. A strain resembling the prototype Ad7c was also isolated in 1986 from a case of post measles pneumonia.

The molecular epidemiology of Adenovirus type 7 in Israel was investigated. Fifty-seven adenovirus isolates identified as serotypes 7 or 7a which were recovered from patients in Israel between 1968 and 1995 were analyzed by restriction enzymes digestion using BamHI for primary discrimination and ide
The first fatal case caused by the new genome type 7i is described in an 8-month-old boy requiring long-term respiratory support who developed Reye's syndrome, acute respiratory distress, and bronchiolitis obliterans with fatal evolution. Adenovirus was detected in nasopharyngeal secretions and was
New genome types of Ad3 and Ad7 were found among adenovirus (Ad) strains isolated from stools of children during epidemiological surveys made in SΓ£o Paulo, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. These were characterized by DNA analysis with 11 restriction endonucleases and showed a number of new restr
Seventy-six strains of adenovirus type 37 (AV37), isolated during a period of 10 years from 73 patients on three continents, were analysed with eight DNA restriction endonucIeases. Strains identical with the prototype (56 strains) prevailed; four deviating genome types were found, which differed onl
## Abstract From November 1999 to December 2001, three outbreaks of adenovirus (Ad) respiratory infection occurred in southern Taiwan. To determine the circulating serotypes and molecular epidemiology, a total of 524 virus strains were randomly selected from 1,064 strains isolated from 1981 to 2001
