Molecular Analysis of Echovirus 13 Isolates and Aseptic Meningitis, Spain

Figure 5. Mapping of the echovirus (EV) 13 VP1 amino acids. The three-dimensional structure is projected onto EV11 structure (GenBank accession no. 1H8TA) with VP1 amino acid numbering according to EV11. The sequenced fragment is shown in red. Previously reported neutralizing antigenic sites for poliovirus, CBV4, and SVDV are shown in yellow. The enterovirus canyon structure is found in a similar location to the canyon structure of poliovirus as reported by (40).
