A novel mucosal bivalent vaccine of EV-A71/EV-D68 adjuvanted with polysaccharides from Ganoderma lucidum protects mice against EV-A71 and EV-D68 lethal challenge [PDF]
Background Human enteroviruses A71 (EV-A71) and D68 (EV-D68) are the suspected causative agents of hand-foot-and-mouth disease, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, acute flaccid myelitis, and acute flaccid paralysis in children.

NAD+ Suppresses EV-D68 Infection by Enhancing Anti-Viral Effect of SIRT1 [PDF]
Enterovirus 68 (EV-D68) is a non-enveloped virus with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome that causes respiratory diseases and acute flaccid myelitis, posing significant threats to human health.

Andrographolide Prevents EV-D68 Replication by Inhibiting the Acidification of Virus-Containing Endocytic Vesicles [PDF]
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has emerged as a significant respiratory pathogen that can cause severe respiratory disease and acute neurologic disease. At present, there are no approved antiviral agents or vaccines for EV-D68.

EV-D68 neurological disease: tipping the scales toward immunopathogenesis. [PDF]
Over the last decade, there have been multiple outbreaks of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) disease and associated cases of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). The underlying cause of EV-D68-induced AFM is contentious; whether spinal cord motor neurons are damaged by direct viral infection, infiltration of immune cells, or a combination of both is not clear.

Structural insights from vaccine candidates for EV-D68. [PDF]
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), a member of the Picornaviridae family, causes respiratory illness and can lead to acute flaccid myelitis in children. No specific treatment or vaccine is available. Here, we determine cryo-EM structures of EV-D68 virus-like particles (VLPs), inactivated virus particles (InVPs), and altered virus particles (A-particles) from B3

Emerging Therapeutics in the Fight Against EV-D68: A Review of Current Strategies. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Enterovirus‐D68 (EV‐D68) was first identified in 1962 in pediatric patients with acute respiratory conditions in California, USA (US). From the 1970s to 2005, EV‐D68 was underestimated due to limited data and serotyping methods.

A cross-sectional seroepidemiology study of EV-D68 in China [PDF]
Enterovirus 68 (EV-D68) is associated with respiratory diseases, such as acute upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), pneumonia, neurological diseases, and acute flaccid myelitis (AFM).

Changes in transmission of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in England inferred from seroprevalence data. [PDF]
Abstract The factors leading to the global emergence of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in 2014 as a cause of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) in children are unknown. To investigate potential changes in virus transmissibility or population susceptibility, we measured the seroprevalence of EV-D68-specific neutralising antibodies in serum samples ...

EV-D68 exploits clathrin-mediated endocytosis and compensatory macropinocytosis for cellular entry [PDF]
Despite growing health concerns about enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), its cellular entry mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated the endocytic pathways exploited by the sialic acid-dependent EV-D68 TW-02795-2014 strain using ...

SNAP23 is essential for germination of EV-D68 replication organelles. [PDF]
Picornaviruses rearrange host cell membranes to facilitate their own replication. Here we investigate the Qbc SNARE, SNAP23, which is found at the plasma membrane and plays roles in exocytosis. We found that knockdown of SNAP23 expression inhibits virus replication but not release from cells.
