AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the genetic evolution of the VP1 region of Coxsackie virus A4 (CVA4) from herpangina cases in Shenzhen during 2012 and 2014.
- Researchers used real-time reverse transcription-PCR to test various enteroviruses, amplified the VP1 gene of positive samples, and conducted homology and phylogenetic analysis.
- Findings showed that the CVA4 strains from both years belonged to genotype GIb, with notable genetic variations, indicating different evolutionary trends between the 2012 and 2014 strains.
Article Abstract
Objective: To analyze the phylogeny of the VP1 region of Coxsackie virus A4 (CVA4) from herpangina cases of Shenzhen in 2012 and 2014.
Methods: Real-time reverse transcription(RT)-PCR method was used to test virus such as human enterovirus71, coxsackievirus A16, coxsackievirus A4, coxsackievirus A6 and coxsackievirus A10. The VP1 gene of CVA4 positive samples were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Then the homology and phylogeny analysis of the CVA4 VP1 region was performed.
Results: The six CVA4 isolates identified in the herpangina cases during 2012 and 2014 were mostly closed with GIb genotypes. The nucleotide and amino acid homology between them were 94.1% (nucleotide mutation rate was 5.9%) and 98.3%, five amino acid mutation were found in CVA4 strain 2014 of Shenzhen: aa22N-S, aa34T-A, aa63N-S, aa165A-D, aa200T-A. The phylogenetic analysis based on VP1 region demonstrates that CVA4 strain of Shenzhen in 2012 had the nearest genetic relationship with CVA4 strain of Shandong isolated in 2010 (KF150144). However, CVA4 strain of Shenzhen in 2014 had the nearest genetic relationship with CVA4 strain of Jilin (JQ715709) isolated in 2006.
Conclusions: It reveals that all CVA4 strains from the two outbreak of herpangina belong to genotype GIb, the degree of variation in VP1 region of CVA4 strain of Shenzhen in 2014 is obvious compared with that in 2012.There is an obvious difference on internal trend of evolution lineage between the CVA4 strains from 2012 and 2014.

Background: The hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) was caused by species of Enterovirus A and Enterovirus B in the Asian-Pacific region. Broad-spectrum monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that can bind multiple serotypes of enteroviruses have gradually become a research hotspot in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of HFMD.
Methods: In this study, a mAb 1H4 was obtained using monoclonal antibody technology by immunizing purified virus particles of Coxsackievirus A5 (CV-A5).

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the genetic diversity and spread of Coxsackievirus A4 (CVA4), a main cause of hand, foot, and mouth disease, in Bangkok, Thailand, from 2017 to 2023.
- It found that the predominant CVA4 genotype during this period shifted from C1 in 2017 to C3 in 2019, with evidence of intertypic recombination and variation among genotypes.
- The research emphasizes the importance of monitoring CVA4's genetic diversity to identify new strains quickly and improve public health surveillance and response efforts in Thailand.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used data from various health monitoring systems to identify trends in outpatient visits, with daily cases ranging from 10 to 7600, and found the coxsackie A virus to be the most common strain.
- * Significant increases in specific EV strains were noted in certain years, revealing that changes in virus prevalence and outbreak clusters occurred over the decade.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the characteristics and data on herpes pharyngitis (HA) in three regions of Jiangsu Province over a four-year period to assist in its prevention and control.
- A total of 57,709 HA cases were recorded, showing a significant increase compared to hand, foot, and mouth disease cases, with most infections occurring in young children aged 12-59 months.
- Enterovirus A was identified as the primary cause, particularly Coxsackievirus A6, with genetic analysis revealing connections to strains from other areas in China.

Article Synopsis
- - A pediatric case of hypoglycemic encephalopathy was observed during an acute infection with coxsackievirus (CV)-A4.
- - The virus's sequence from the patient matched a recombinant strain of CV-A4 that was previously associated with a lethal variant of CV-A2.
- - This finding suggests a possible link between CV-A4 and the severe hypoglycemic encephalopathy experienced by the patient.
