Abstract excerpt
The development of effective vaccines and antiviral prophylaxis against human enterovirus 71 (EV71) has been hampered by the extensive antigenic diversity of the virus. To gain new insights into the evolutionary processes that create this genetic diversity, the TreeOrder Scan Method and RDP program were employed to detect recombination events in the genome, and then parsimony-based and maximum-likelihood-based...
