Genetic Characterization of Enterovirus A71 Circulating in Africa

Genetic Characterization of Enterovirus A71 Circulating in Africa

We analyzed whole-genome sequences of 8 enterovirus A71 isolates (EV-A71). We confirm the circulation of genogroup C and the new genogroup E in West Africa. Our analysis demonstrates wide geographic circulation and describes genetic exchanges between EV-A71 and autochthonous EV-A that might contribu...
