Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To reveal the genetic characteristic of Coxsackie virus A16 (CVA16) strains isolated during an epidemic of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease (HFMD) in Shanghai in 2002. METHODS: CVA16 strains were isolated from the patients of HFMD during the epidemic in Shanghai in 2002. The VP1 coding gene of CVA16 strains was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequenced. The homology and...
