Two coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) strains were isolated from two children with aseptic meningitis in Australia. Their genomes were sequenced and found to be divergent from the previously reported CVB5 genome sequences, with both having 84% and 97% identities to the closest strains at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively.
