title: [Genetic characterization of echovirus 25 isolated from Henan].
abstract: This research firstly reported the molecular analysis of ECHO25 (Entric Cytopathic Human Orphanviruses Type 25). To clarify molecular characteristics of the ECHO25 virus isolates in Henan Province and its relationship with the rest of world's isolates,the complete VP1 sequences of the 4 isolates in Henan were successfully amplified by RT-PCR and were compared with other ECHO25 isolates available from GenBank. Compared with the prototype strain JV-4, the nucleotide sequence identity was 79.2%-80.1%, and the amino sequence identity was 89.0%-92.4, the nucleotide sequence identity among the 4 strains isolates in Henan Province was 93.0%-99.0%, the amino sequence identity was 92.4%-97.5%. HN-01 and HN-26 strains had the highest level of homology, the nucleotide homology was 99.0%; All the 4 strains belonged to the B1 genotype.
