Aichivirus A

Aichivirus A formerly Aichi virus (AiV)[1] is a small, round, cytopathic positive sense and ssRNA virus. It belongs to the genus Kobuvirus in the family Picornaviridae.[2] Aichivirus A was originally identified after a 1989 outbreak of acute gastroenteritis in the Aichi Prefecture, and was likely linked to raw oyster per genetic analysis.[1][3][4]
