*PCR, polymerase chain reaction. Letters or numbers in boldface indicate weak positives.
†Acquisition number, serotype, isolation year, and isolation location.
‡Results are listed as serotypes. Species B1 includes serotypes 3, 7, 16, 21; species C includes serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6; and species E includes serotype 4.
§Variant/vaccine grouping based on the hexon gene sequence defined by Blasiole et al. (16). Δ = # reflects number of base substitutions from vaccine strain in 1,490 bp of the hexon sequence (16). The 7d2 designation is based on that of Blasiole et al. (16). The 7h designation based on fiber gene sequence is as defined by Kajon and Wadell (17).
