Recently, under the guidance of Dr. Shen Hongxing, an associate professor of Virology at the Medical College, three students, Pu Xufeng, Qian Yongjiang and Yu Yu, who are undergraduates in our college, published a research paper titled “Echovirus plays a major role in natural recombination in the coxsackievirus B group“（DOI 10.1007/s00705-018-4114-1）（IF=2.1）.. Medical College of Jiangsu University is the first completion unit and communication unit of the paper, and Pu Xufeng is the first author of the paper.
Through the demonstration and analysis of experimental data, it is proved that the Ecovirus plays an important role in the natural recombination of Coxsackievirus B group.
