Summary

The evolution of the variant of coxsackievirus A 24 (CA 24 v) which causes acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis was explored. Using 15 isolates obtained from Southeast Asia during the period 1970–1986, the genetic distance between isolates was estimated from pairwise comparison of nucleotide changes deduced from common spots on oligonucleotide maps of the isolates. From regression analysis of the genetic distance and the time of isolation of the isolates, the evolutionary rate of CA 24 v was estimated to be 3.44×10−4/nucleotide/month. The phylogenetic relationship of these isolates was explored using the neighbor-joining method and the modified unweighted pair group method using arithmetic averages (UPGMA). The phylogenetic tree constructed indicates that CA 24 v appeared from one focal place in July 1968±25 months, very close to the time of the first world epidemic of, then newly recognized, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis.
