Key result
Phylogenetic analysis of 19 Enterovirus A71 isolates from India identified the circulation of genogroups D and C1, and led to the discovery of a novel genogroup designated as G.
Observational (n=19)
Yes
The discovery of a new EV-A71 genogroup (G) and the circulation of multiple genogroups in India highlights the need for systematic nationwide surveillance of this virus.

EV-A71 circulation including novel genogroup G in India warrants surveillance; leaves open questions on clinical burden and spread.
We have identified circulation of 3 genogroups of enterovirus (EV) A71 in India. A new genogroup (proposed designation G) was discovered during this study. We isolated genogroups D and G in wide geographic areas but detected subgenogroup C1 only in 1 focus in western India. A systematic nationwide search for EV-A71 is warranted.

Saxena et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Enterovirus A71 infection (n=19). Enterovirus A71 was evaluated on Phylogenetic relationship and genogroup identification of EV-A71 strains. Phylogenetic analysis of 19 Enterovirus A71 isolates from India identified the circulation of genogroups D and C1, and led to the discovery of a novel genogroup designated as G.
