| genetic characterization of emerging coxsackievirus a12 associated with hand, foot and mouth disease in qingdao, china. | to characterize the genetic properties of coxsackievirus a12 (cva12) strains isolated from hand, foot and mouth disease (hfmd) patients in qingdao during 2008-2011, the complete genome and vp1 coding region were sequenced and analyzed. phylogenetic analysis showed that all strains from china clustered into three different branches, suggesting multiple lineages of cva12 co-circulating in asia. sequence analysis indicated a monophyletic group only when the p1 region was examined, indicating possib ... | 2014 | 24796551 |
