The complete genome sequence of a fatal enterovirus A71 strain from Shenzhen was determined and classified as subgenotype C4a.
Contributes one fatal EV71 C4a genome to surveillance databases; leaves open subgenotype-virulence links.
The whole-genome sequence of an enterovirus A71 strain (EV71/SHENZHEN001/2006) isolated in 2006 from a patient with a fatal case of enterovirus infection was determined. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete VP1 gene classified this strain as subgenotype C4a.
