Abstract
ABSTRACTHuman echovirus 20 (E-20) belongs to the Human enterovirus B (HEV-B) species and is often detected in nonpolio enterovirus cases of acute flaccid paralysis. We determined the complete genome of strain 812/YN/CHN/2010, isolated from a child with severe hand-foot-and-mouth disease in Yunnan, China, in 2010.

Human echovirus 20 (E-20) belongs to the Human enterovirus B (HEV-B) species and is often detected in nonpolio enterovirus cases of acute flaccid paralysis
The patient was diagnosed with severe hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) and a stool specimen collected from the patient was detected positive for E-20 by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and BLAST
We first determined the complete genomes of the E-20 strains isolated from one patient suffering from HFMD in Yunnan, China
Summary
Human echovirus 20 (E-20) belongs to the Human enterovirus B (HEV-B) species and is often detected in nonpolio enterovirus cases of acute flaccid paralysis. The E-20 812/YN/CHN/2010 strain was isolated in 2010 from a 10-month-old child during HFMD surveillance in the Yunnan Province. The patient was diagnosed with severe HFMD and a stool specimen collected from the patient was detected positive for E-20 by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and BLAST (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ BLAST/).
