| genetic diversity of coxsackievirus a16 associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease epidemics in japan from 1983 to 2003. | to clarify the chronologic genetic diversity of coxsackievirus a16 (cv-a16) strains associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease (hfmd) epidemics in a restricted area and their genetic relation with those isolated in other areas, we investigated the genetic diversity of the 129 cv-a16 strains associated with hfmd epidemics in fukushima, japan, from 1983 to 2003, and compared their genetic relation to 49 cv-a16 strains isolated in other areas of japan and in china by using phylogenetic analysis ... | 2007 | 17093028 |
