Abstract
We report on the isolation of enterovirus 70 (EV-70) in Pune, India in 1991. The isolate was identified by the neutralization and indirect i mmunofluorescent antibody tests. The isolate was found to be a prime t ype of the EV-70 (J670/71) which was isolated by Kono and colaborators in 1971 (Kono et at., 1974).
