Abstract
Stool samples were obtained from healthy children and children with diarrhoea in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and analysed for aichivirus A and salivirus by reverse transcription PCR. Aichivirus A was detected in 5 (0.8%) and salivirus in 10 (1.7%) of the samples obtained from children with diarrhoea. None of the healthy children tested positive for these viruses. The results demonstrate that these viruses continuously circulate in the country, although at a low frequency.
