Objective: To study the genetic characterizations of VP1 gene of human enterovirus 71 (HEV71) isolated from clinical specimens of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) patients in Qinghai Province in 2008.
Methods: 335 clinical samples including stools, throat swabs and vesicle fluids were collected from HFMD patients in Qinghai Province. Viral isolation was performed, and molecular typing was performed with the positive isolates. Then 30 identified HEV71 isolates were performed for entire VP1 coding region amplification and sequencing.
Results: Among the 355 clinical samples, 45 human enteroviruses were isolated, and among them, 30 were identified as HEV71. Then 30 HEV71 positive isolates were performed by nucleotide sequencing. It showed that there was some difference in the nucleotide and the amino acid among the 30 HEV71 strains, the homology were 95.2%-100% and 96.6%-100%, respectively. But they all closed to HEV71 strains isolated in China after 1998, and from the phylogenetic tree constructed with 30 Qinghai HEV71 strains and other 35 HEV71 strains represented all known genotype and subgenotype HEV71 strains available from GenBank, it revealed that the 30 Qinghai HEV71 strains clustered within the C4a evolution branch of C4 subgenotype.
Conclusion: HEV71 was isolated in HFMD patients in Qinghai province, and the HEV71 strains causing HFMD outbreaks in Qinghai province in 2008 were all belong to C4a evolution branch of C4 subgenotype with several transmission chains.

Introduction: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood infectious disease, caused by enteroviruses (EVs) which can present with typical or atypical lesions. Although the disease is self-limiting, it can also lead to serious complications. In the era of polio eradication, it is important to understand the population dynamics of enteroviruses causing HFMD as one of the circulating strains may become dominant.

RNA interference (RNAi) functions as a potent antiviral immunity in plants and invertebrates; however, whether RNAi plays antiviral roles in mammals remains unclear. Here, using human enterovirus 71 (HEV71) as a model, we showed HEV71 3A protein as an authentic viral suppressor of RNAi during viral infection. When the 3A-mediated RNAi suppression was impaired, the mutant HEV71 readily triggered the production of abundant HEV71-derived small RNAs with canonical siRNA properties in cells and mice.

A total of 413 throat swab specimens from HFMD patients were collected during January to November, 2014 for the isolation and identification of enteroviruses using real-time RT-PCR assays. The VP1 regions of CVA16 isolates were amplified using RT-PCR and sequenced.

Article Synopsis
- Human enterovirus 68 (HEV-68) is linked to respiratory issues in children, and a study in mainland China from 2009 to 2012 found HEV-68 in a small percentage of tested samples.
- Out of 1,565 child samples, 41 tested positive for HEV, with 7 specifically identified as HEV-68, while 2 HEV-68 samples were also found in adult cases.
- The study suggests that HEV-68 may be a major contributor to respiratory infections in kids and highlights the need for more research to understand the virus's varying impact on health, ranging from mild to severe symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Recent outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in Shenzhen, China, raised concerns about human enterovirus (HEV) serotypes, particularly the prevalence of non-HEV71 and non-cocksackievirus A16 strains.
- A study analyzing 2,411 clinical stool specimens from 2008 to 2012 found that 74.8% were HEV-positive, with HEV71 being the most common (60.0%), while CV-A6 emerged as a significant player by 2012.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicated low variation in HEV71 and CV-A16 strains in China, while CV-A6 and CV-A10 strains showed geographic differences, suggesting a
