Abstract
Summary
A number of strains of adenoviruses recovered from anal swabs of children in Washington, D. C., were found to belong to the 4 previously unrecognized adenovirus serotypes (BP-1, BP-2, BP-4, BP-5) described in this report. The Adenovirus Committee of the Nat. Inst. of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has recommended that these viruses be designated adenovirus types 25, 26, 27, and 28 respectively.
The authors are indebted to Mrs. J. Hovis, Mr. R. Low, Mr. H. Turner, and Mrs. M. Wormald for valuable technical assistance.
