Genera

The species Enterovirus C (formerly named Human enterovirus C) consists of 23 (sero)types: poliovirus (PV) 1, PV-2, PV-3, coxsackievirus A1 (CV-A1), CV-A11, CV-A13, CV-A17, CV-A19, CV-A20, CV-A21, CV-A22, CV-A24, EV-C95, EV-C96, EV-C99, EV-C102, EV-C104, EV-C105, EV-C109, EV-C113, EV-C116, EV-C117 and EV-C118.

Enterovirus C is the type species of the genus Enterovirus.

Here are lists of the Enterovirus C prototype strains.

The former serotype CV-A15 has been reclassified as a strain of CV-A11 and similarly CV-A18 is now belongs to CV-A13.
