CVA10 emergence in HFMD warrants surveillance; leaves open effects on severity and vaccine needs.
Observational (n=3,208)
CVA10 emerged as a major pathogen associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease in Wuhan, China, replacing EV71 and CVA16 starting in May 2013.
Yang et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) (n=3,208). Enterovirus infection was evaluated on Pathogen distribution and molecular epidemiology. Among 463 viruses isolated from 3,208 HFMD patients, EV71 and CVA16 were predominant in 2012, but CVA10 emerged as the major pathogen replacing them from May 2013.
