Sub-genotype change and recombination of coxsackievirus A6s may be the cause of it being the predominant pathogen for HFMD in children in Beijing, as revealed by analysis of complete genome sequences

Objectives: To investigate why coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) has replaced enterovirus A71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), which used to be the most predominant etiological agents, for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in children in Beijing, China. Methods: Sixty-four CVA6-positive samples were...
