Abstract excerpt
Abstract Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common global epidemic. From 2008 onwards, many HFMD outbreaks caused by coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) have been reported worldwide. Since 2013, with a dramatically increasing number of CV-A6-related HFMD cases, CV-A6 has become the predominant HFMD pathogen in mainland China. Phylogenetic analysis based on the VP1 capsid gene revealed that subtype D3 dominated the...
