Analysis of nt similarity of echovirus 11 complete genome sequences from neonatal and non-neonatal infections, France and other countries, 2010–2023 (n = 38)
UTR: Untranslated region.
Complete genome sequences of the French E-11 strains of 2022–2023 (n = 26) were compared with each other and with other E-11 strains (11 from other countries and the prototype strain X.80059) using SimPlot 3.5.1. A schematic diagram of the enterovirus genome is shown at the bottom of the panel. Recent E-11 genomes, including those of the strains associated with severe neonatal infection or non-severe infection within the lineage 1 and the other French strains from 2022 to 2023 (lineage 2) are represented in red, green and blue, respectively. The genomes of strains collected before 2022 are represented in grey. Potential recombination breakpoints are indicated by black arrows.
