First isolation and genomic characterization of enterovirus A71 and coxsackievirus A16 from hand foot and mouth disease patients in the Lao PDR

Enterovirus A71 (EV‐A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV‐A16) are major aetiological agents of hand, foot and mouth disease in Asia. We established the first genomic characterization of strains isolated in 2011 from Lao patients. Isolates were related to EV‐A71 genotype C4 and CV‐A16 genotype B1a that ci...
