Molecular Epidemiology and Evolution of Coxsackievirus A14.

ABSTRACT: As the proportion of non-enterovirus 71 and non-coxsackievirus A16 which proportion of composition in the hand, foot, and mouth pathogenic spectrum gradually increases worldwide, the attention paid to other enteroviruses has increased. As a member of the species enterovirus A, coxsackievirus A14 (CVA14) has been epidemic around the world until now since it has been isolated. However, studies on CVA14 are poor and the effective population size, evolutionary dynamics, and recombination patterns of CVA14 are not well understood. In this study, 15 CVA14 strains were isolated from HFMD patients in mainland China from 2009 to 2019, and the complete sequences of CVA14 in GenBank as research objects were analyzed. CVA14 was divided into seven genotypes A-G based on an average nucleotide difference
