Abstract excerpt
Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) is one of the major etiological agents of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in young children. To investigate the genetic characteristics of the P1 coding region gene of CVA16 associated with HFMD in China, we included the sequences of CVA16 specimens obtained from outbreak investigations and sporadic HFMD cases between 1998 and 2014 in China from GenBank, we genotyped the CVA16...
