Abstract:
Coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) is a member of the species Enterovirus B of the genus Enterovirus, family Picornaviridae. Based on its VP1 sequence, CVB5 is divided into four genogroups: A, B, C, and D. From 2002 to 2012, CVB5 serotype genogroup C caused an outbreak of aseptic meningitis in China. In order to study the evolution of CVB5 genogroup C, phylogenetic and recombination analysis was performed using the 399 available enterovirus B genome sequences in the GenBank database. The results indicated that 10 strains of CVB5 serotype genogroup C resulted from recombination between members of genogroup B and echovirus serotype E6, and another 5 strains resulted from recombination between members of genogroup C and serotype CVB4. These recombination events were confirmed by phylogenetic analysis.
