Enteroviruses: A Gut-Wrenching Game of Entry, Detection, and Evasion

Viruses, 2019
Enteroviruses are a major source of human disease, particularly in neonates and young children where infections can range from acute, self-limited febrile illness to meningitis, endocarditis, hepatitis, and acute flaccid myelitis.

Detection of Enteroviruses on Environmental Surfaces in Daycare Centers Using Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) and Its Public Health Implications [PDF]

Pathogens
Enteroviruses (EVs) are major pathogens transmitted via direct and indirect contact, with children being particularly susceptible. As EVs persist on surfaces, environmental hygiene is critical in communal environments.

Persistence of Infectivity of Different Enteroviruses on a Surrogate Fomite: Correlation with Clinical Case Incidence [PDF]

Pathogens
Enteroviruses of the Picornaviridae family are transmitted primarily by the fecal–oral route. Transmission may occur following hand contact with contaminated fomites and subsequent ingestion of virus conveyed to the mouth by the contaminated hand.

Differentiation between Wild-Type Group A Rotaviruses and Vaccine Strains in Cases of Suspected Horizontal Transmission and Adverse Events Following Vaccination

Viruses, 2022
Human group A rotaviruses (RVA) are important enteric pathogens, as they are a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children worldwide. Since 2013, the German Standing Committee on vaccination recommended the routine rotavirus vaccination for ...

Diversity of human astroviruses in Germany 2018 and 2019

Virology Journal, 2022
Aim of this study was to investigate the molecular diversity of human astroviruses (HAstV) in Germany. A follow-up study was performed with human stool samples collected in 2018–2019, which were genotyped retrospectively.

Presence and Diversity of Different Enteric Viruses in Wild Norway Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

Viruses, 2021
Rodents are common reservoirs for numerous zoonotic pathogens, but knowledge about diversity of pathogens in rodents is still limited. Here, we investigated the occurrence and genetic diversity of enteric viruses in 51 Norway rats collected in three ...
