The study identifies a novel recombinant human parechovirus (CH-ZXY1) resulting from recombination between HPeV5 and HPeV1 in a child with diarrhea.
Recombinant HPeV detection in pediatric diarrhea warrants surveillance; leaves open recombination frequency and clinical impact.
A human parechovirus (HPeV), CH-ZXY1, was detected in feces from a child with diarrhea. Phylogenetic trees over three different genomic regions revealed discordant topological structures. Recombination analysis indicates that CH-ZXY1 is a recombinant resulting from recombination between HPeV5 and HPeV1, which was confirmed by PCR covering the recombination breakpoint.
