Key result
The first complete genome sequence of human enterovirus A120 (EV-A120) was successfully determined from an isolate obtained from a healthy child in Madagascar.
This report provides the first complete genome sequence of human enterovirus A120, contributing to the understanding of enterovirus genetic diversity.
First EV-A120 genome from Madagascar child; extends enterovirus sequence databases but leaves open clinical and epidemiological relevance.
We report the first complete genome sequence of an enterovirus isolate belonging to the human enterovirus A species of the Picornaviridae family and to type A120 (EV-A120). The EV-A120 isolate MAD-2741-11 was obtained from the stool of a healthy child living on Madagascar Island. The isolate genome was amplified by a reverse transcription-PCR method, and the consensus sequence was determined.
