Molecular Phylogeny of<i>Coxsackievirus A16</i>in Shenzhen, China, from 2005 to 2009

Abstract

Phylogenetic analysis of a Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) sequence from Shenzhen, China, and other Chinese and international CA16 sequences revealed a pattern of endemic cocirculation of strains of clusters B2a and B2b within subtype B2 viruses. Amino acid evolution and nucleotide variation in the VP1 region were slight for 5 years.
