Phylogenetic dendrograms based on the partial VP1 nucleotide sequences of EV71. The dendrograms were constructed using the neighbor-joining method based on the alignment of the partial VP1-region sequences of Suzhou strains and other strains downloaded from GenBank. Bootstrap values (%) for 1000 replicates were calculated, and only values >70% are shown at the nodes. Red dots indicate Suzhou EV71 strains, and the CA16 strain (TW-00190) was used as an out-group. The descriptions in the brackets following the strains downloaded from GenBank indicate the sub-genogroup of each strain.
