Abstract excerpt
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by enteroviruses is common in children. Recently, coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) has been identified as a major causative agent. In this study, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis of a part of the VP1 coding region of 194 CVA6 strains detected directly in 767 nasopharyngeal swab or stool samples of HFMD patients in Japan from 2019 to 2024. The detected CVA6 strains were...
