Recombinant human adenoviruses (HAdVs) have been identified in many countries, including Japan. Herein, we report a recombinant HAdV-C type detected in feces with gastroenteritis infection or throat swabs with upper respiratory tract inflammation in six children in Aichi Prefecture. This type may ha...
