Phylogenetic analysis of 86 European EV-71 strains revealed recent dissemination of clades C1b and C2b, originating in 1994 and 2002, respectively, with evidence of ancestral recombination.

May warrant enhanced EV-71 surveillance in Europe; extends evolutionary understanding of genogroup C dissemination and recombination.
The evolutionary timescale of EV-71 genogroup C indicates recent dissemination in Europe, measured only in decades.
Mirand et al. (2010) studied Human enterovirus 71 (EV-71) (n=86). Human enterovirus 71 (EV-71) strains was evaluated on Substitution rate and divergence times. Phylogenetic analysis of 86 European EV-71 strains revealed recent dissemination of clades C1b and C2b, originating in 1994 and 2002, respectively, with evidence of ancestral recombination.
