DNA restriction endonuclease analysis was carried out on 48 adenovirus isolates from the
conjunctival swabs of patients with acute conjunctivitis. Samples were obtained in Sapporo,
Japan, and Manila, the Philippines, from October 1983 to October 1984. We identified new
genomic variants among the isolates of Ad3 in Sapporo, and Ad4 and Ad11 in Manila, and
these were designated as Ad3f, Ad4b, Ad11a and Ad11b, respectively. Ad7 isolates in
Manila were identical to Ad7b reported by Wadell et al. In Sapporo, no Ad7 was isolated …
