Popis:	This study is done for period of one year. Stool samples 229 children up to the age of six years were included for isolation of viruses. Rota-virus was excluded from this study (separate study). This study was done in collaboration of the Nagoya University Nagoya, Japan. The 26 cases of clinical polio were subjected for enteroviruses isolation 24 (92.3%) were positive. Diarrhoeal stools were 126 out of which 62 (49.2%) positive for enteroviruses. Stool samples from healthy individuals were 77 from which 17 (22.1%) were having enteroviruses. Overall out of 229 stool samples 103 (45.0%) were having enteroviruses. Different species like polio-1, polio-2, polio-3, non-polio enterovirus, adenovirus (3 and 11), ECHO (3, 6, 7, 12, 19 and 21) and cox A10 were isolated in children. It is necessary for us to look for preventive strategies against these viruses to cope with pathogenic viruses.
