Genomic Characterization of Novel Human Parechovirus Type

Genomic Characterization of Novel Human Parechovirus Type

Using a simple metagenomic approach, we identified a divergent human parechovirus (HPeV) in the stool of a child in Pakistan. Genomic characterization showed this virus was distinct enough from reported HPeV types to qualify as candidate prototype for the seventh HPeV type.
