Molecular characterization of two novel echovirus 18 recombinants associated with hand-foot-mouth disease

Abstract Human echovirus 18 (E-18) is a member of the enterovirus B species. To date, sixteen full-length genome sequences of E-18 are available in the GenBank database. In this study, we describe the complete genomic characterization of two E-18 strains isolated in Yunnan, China. Pairwise compariso...
