| Abstract | : | The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of human bocavirus (HBoV) in Malaysia. Respiratory samples from 125 hospitalised children with Acute Respiratory Disease (ARD) were analysed for the presence of human bocavirus in the year 2012 and HBoV was detected in 5.6% (7/125) of the cases. Molecular analysis based on the partial NP1 region revealed that all 7 belonged to HBoV1. All our HBoV showed a nucleotide substitution from A to T at position 2683. |
