Abstract

Hereby, the partial Viral Protein 1 sequences of Coxsackievirus B5 (CV-B5) from sewage samples, collected in Italy from 2016 to 2017, were compared with those available in GenBank from clinical samples. Phylogenetic analysis highlighted: (I) the predominant circulation of CV-B5 genogroup B in Italy, and (II) the presence of two new sub-genogroups.

Keywords: CV-B5; Coxsackievirus; Non-polio enteroviruses; Phylogenetic analysis; Polioviruses; Sewage.
