Identification and whole-genome sequencing of four enterovirus D68 strains in southern China in late 2015

Abstract

Four enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) strains from four children with influenza-like illness were identified in Shenzhen, southern China, in late 2015. Here, we announce the availability of these viral genomes in GenBank. The genomic sequences of these EVD68 strains showed the closest phylogenetic relationship to strains from northern China.
