Comparison of amino acid sequences of the A) EF loop structure (part of the VP2 protein) and B) the CD loop structure (part of the VP1 protein) between Can112051-06 and other cardioviruses including Saffold virus (SAF-V), Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), Theiler-like virus, encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and Mengovirus. Amino acid differences between Can112051-06 and SAF-V are shaded.
