Abstrakt: An epidemic of aseptic meningitis caused by human echovirus 9 (E‐9) occurred in the summer of 1997 in northern Kyushu, Japan. Sequences of genome position 2504–3358, which encoded a part of VP1, of the nine isolated viruses were determined. An RGD motif and B‐C loop were found in all. They were almost identical and closely related to the virulent strain Barty.
