Detection and Genomic Characterization of Enterovirus D68 in Respiratory Samples Isolated in the United States in 2016

Terry Fei Fan Ng et al. Genome Announc. .

Abstract

The genomic sequences of three 2016 enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) strains were obtained from respiratory samples of patients from Florida, Texas, and New York. These EV-D68 sequences share highest nucleotide identities with strains that circulated in North America, Europe, and Asia in 2014-2015.
