Molecular Epidemiology of Coxsackievirus A16 Strains from Four Sentinel Surveillance Sites in Peru

Molecular Epidemiology of Coxsackievirus A16 Strains from Four Sentinel Surveillance Sites in Peru

Highlights • Clinic-based surveillance in Peru identified seven individuals with Coxsackievirus A16 infections. • All Coxsackievirus A16 isolates were identified by VP1 and VP4 sequencing to belong to the C genotype except for one divergent strain not clustered in any of the three currently reported...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Clinic-based surveillance in Peru identified seven individuals with Coxsackievirus A16 infections. • All Coxsackievirus A16 isolates were identified by VP1 and VP4 sequencing to belong to the C genotype except for one divergent strain not clustered in any of the three currently reported genotypes (A, B, or C). • This is the first report of CVA16 circulating in Peru.
