Reference sequence for 2008 Finnish CVA6 now available; extends genomic surveillance data but leaves open clinical correlations.
Reports of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) outbreaks caused by coxsackievirus A6 have increased worldwide after the report of the first outbreak in Finland in 2008. The complete genome of the first outbreak strain from a vesicle fluid specimen was determined.
