Abstract
DNA restriction analysis with 7 endonucleases was performed on 21 adenovirus type 31 strains, isolated from faeces of infants from 1974 to 1987 in different parts of Germany. The strains could be grouped into five genome types, differing from the prototype in two to four endonucleases. BglII was the most discriminative enzyme. The D 2 genome type was found 16 times; all others only once or twice. No serological differences were found between the strains.
