Key result
Phylogenetic analysis of EV-71 revealed that C1 and C2 subgenogroups predominate in Europe with multiple spread events since the mid-1990s, alongside sporadic introductions of B4, B5, and C4.

Supports strengthened EV-71 surveillance in Europe; leaves open subgenogroup-specific risks and responses.
Observational
Yes
The study highlights the complex transmission dynamics of EV-71 subgenogroups to, from, and within Europe, emphasizing the need for enhanced surveillance.
Hassel et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Enterovirus 71 (EV-71) infection. EV-71 transmission was evaluated on Molecular epidemiology and geographical spread patterns of EV-71 subgenogroups. Phylogenetic analysis of EV-71 revealed that C1 and C2 subgenogroups predominate in Europe with multiple spread events since the mid-1990s, alongside sporadic introductions of B4, B5, and C4.
