Abstract Background At least three different EV-71 subgenotypes were identified from an outbreak in Malaysia in 1998. The subgenotypes C2 and B4 were associated with the severe and fatal infections whereas the B3 virus was associated with mild to subclinical infections. The B3 virus genome sequences had 85 similarity at the 3 end to CV-A16. This offers opportunities to examine if there are characteristic similarities and differences in virulence between CV-A16 EV-71 B3 and EV-71 B4 and to determine if the presence of the CV-A16-liked genes in EV-71 B3 would also confer the virus with a CV-A16-liked neurovirulence in mice model infection. Results Analysis of human enterovirus 71 EV-71 subgenotype B3 genome sequences revealed that the 3D RNA polymerase and domain Z of the 3 -untranslating region RNA secondary structure had high similarity to CV-A16. Intracerebral inoculation of one-day old mice with the virus resulted in 16 of the mice showing swollen hind limbs and significantly lower .
