Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the dynamic molecular epidemiology of herpangina based on pharyngeal swabs and demographic data collected from children with herpangina monitored in Tongzhou district in China from January 2021 to December 2022. A total of 1022 herpangina cases were diagnosed. Out of 225 samples collected, 56.4% (127/225) were positive for non-polio enterovirus, with seven genotypes identified: coxsackievirus A4 (CV-A4), CV-A6, CV-A10, CV-A2, CV-A16, CV-B3, and CV-A8. The predominant genotypes associated with herpangina changed during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the predominant genotypes being CV-A4 and CV-A6 in 2021 and CV-A10 and CV-A6 in 2022.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
