Summary

In the present report some general physicochemical properties and RNA characteristics of strain 258 of enterovirus (EV) 71, isolated in 1975 from cases of poliomyelitis-like disease in Bulgaria (1), are described. It is concluded, that the features of the virus are consistent with the previous identification, based on biological studies, of this virus strain as a member of enterovirus subgroup of picornaviridae family.
