Y. Tveten et al., RESTRICTION-ENDONUCLEASE ANALYSIS OF ADENOVIRUS TYPE-3 ISOLATED IN NORWAY FROM 1970 TO 1991, APMIS. Acta pathologica, microbiologica et immunologica Scandinavica, 102(3), 1994, pp. 215-218
Forty-three strains of adenovirus type 3 isolated from patients in Nor
way between 1970 and 1991 were analyzed with four restriction endonucl
eases. Bgl II was the most discriminative enzyme. Five genotypes were
identified and one of these has not been described before (Ad3a12). Du
ring both the epidemics in this period, new genotypes were introduced
into the population. The same genotypes were identified in Norway as h
ave previously been found in the northern parts of Europe, America and
the Soviet Union.
