RESULTS: Sequences with limited similarity to known picornaviruses were detected in a stool sample collected in Australia from a child with acute diarrhea. We also detected klassevirus 1 by RT-PCR in a diarrhea specimen collected from a patient in St. Louis, United States as well as in untreated sewage collected in Barcelona, Spain. Extracted nucleic acid from a stool specimen collected in 1984 from a child with acute diarrhea was subjected to high throughput mass sequencing using 454 pyroseqencing technology. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP3/VP1, P2, and P3 regions of the genome demonstrated that this virus sequence is highly divergent from all previously described picornaviruses (Figure 2A -C). ./cache/cord-333913-roftm446.txt ./txt/cord-333913-roftm446.txt
