Yearly presence of HAdV types in southern Palestine.

Viruses isolated from pediatrics patients in a six-year period were subjected to DNA sequencing of the hexon gene, with BLAST analysis using the NCBI software (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/Blast.cgi?PAGE=Nucleotides) and the DNASTAR program using reference sequences. Not all types are represented each year, with HAdV-C5 absent from 2007 onward.
