RESUMO
Se describió la introducción de un método molecular para la identificación de los Enterovirus basado en la amplificación, secuenciación y análisis filogenético de la proteína VP1. Se demostró que este método reduce grandemente el tiempo requerido para la identificación de los Enterovirus aislados y resulta de gran utilidad en la caracterización de aislamientos difíciles de tipificar, con el empleo de los reactivos inmunológicos de rutina. Por la rapidez de ejecución de la técnica reviste vital importancia su uso durante epidemias, dada la rápida determinación del agente causal.
The introduction of a mollecular method to identify the Entoviruses based on the amplification, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of protein VP1 was described. It was proved that this method reduces significantly the time required for the identification of the isolated Entoviruses and that it is very useful in the characterization of isolates which are difficult to typify by the routine immunoloigical reagents. As it is a very fast technqiue, its use is very important during epidemics to determine the causal agent rapidly.
