AI Article Synopsis

  • - In 2021, a kindergarten in Shandong Province, China, reported twenty children with influenza-like symptoms.
  • - Researchers isolated eleven strains of Coxsackievirus A4 (CV-A4) from these pediatric cases, showing less than 93% similarity to existing CV-A4 genomes.
  • - Further studies indicated that the new strains may have undergone genetic recombination in a specific part of their genome known as the P3 region.

Article Abstract

In 2021, twenty children exhibiting influenza-like illnesses were reported from a kindergarten in Shandong Province, China. Eleven genomes of Coxsackievirus A4 (CV-A4) were obtained from the pediatric cases, sharing <93% genome sequence identities with known CV-A4 strains. Further analyses suggested potential genetic recombination in the P3 region of the novel strains.
