Abstract

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains from children were characterized by full-length VP1 nucleotide sequencing. Out of 22 clinical specimens, five isolates identified as EV71 were recovered by virus isolation. The VP1 sequences of the five isolates had more than 97.4% sequence identity with prototype virus BrCr, clustering in the genotype A lineage. This represents the first record of genotype A EV71 in China since the BrCr prototype strain was discovered in the USA in 1969.
