Abstract excerpt
A fatal case associated with enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infection affecting a 10-year-old boy was reported in Hong Kong in 2014. To examine if a new strain has emerged in Hong Kong, we sequenced the partial genome of the EV-D68 strain identified from the fatal case and the complete VP1, and partial 5'UTR and 2C sequences of nine additional EV-D68 strains isolated from patients in Hong Kong. Sequence analysis...
