Coxsackie B is a group of six serotypes of coxsackievirus (CVB1-CVB6), a pathogenic enterovirus, that trigger illness ranging from gastrointestinal distress to full-fledged pericarditis and myocarditis (coxsackievirus-induced cardiomyopathy). [1] [2] The genome of Coxsackie B virus consists of approximately 7,400 base pairs. [3]
(Coxsackie A virus causes paralysis and death of the mice, with extensive skeletal muscle necrosis; Coxsackie B causes less severe infection in the mice, but with damage to more organ systems, such as heart, brain, liver, pancreas, and skeletal muscles.)
Coxsackievirus B4 is one of the six serotypes found in Group B and is a positive sense, single-stranded, non-enveloped RNA virus. Its genome is linear and is 7,293 nucleotides in length with both a 5’ and 3’ untranslated region and encodes its own 3’ poly-A tail.
Bornholm disease, also known as epidemic pleurodynia, [1] is a condition characterized by myositis of the abdomen or chest caused by the Coxsackie B virus or other viruses. [2] The myositis manifests as an intermittent stabbing pain in the musculature that is seen primarily in children and young adults.
Thus, coxsackievirus A23 is the same serotype as echovirus 9, and coxsackievirus A15 is the same serotype as coxsackievirus A11 and coxsackievirus A18 is the same serotype as coxsackievirus A13.

Non-stop exercise, incessant grooming, or displaying unending attention-seeking behavior, some canine breeds are particularly high-maintenance dog breeds – but of course that’s part of their ...
Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CXADR gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane receptor for group B coxsackie viruses and subgroup C adenoviruses .
