National surveillance for non-polio enteroviruses in Canada: Why is it important? [PDF]
A widespread outbreak of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) was detected in association with respiratory illness in children across Canada and the United States during the autumn of 2014. The majority of cases were mild, but some were associated with more severe illness requiring hospitalization; some of the cases also had neurological symptoms including ...

Myocarditis, disseminated infection, and early viral persistence following experimental coxsackievirus B infection of cynomolgus monkeys. [PDF]
Coxsackievirus B (CVB) infection is a common cause of acute viral myocarditis. The clinical presentation of myocarditis caused by this enterovirus is highly variable, ranging from mildly symptoms to complete hemodynamic collapse.

Beyond polio: Exploring non-polio enteroviruses, global health preparedness, and the "Disease X" paradigm. [PDF]
AbstractBackground and AimsDisease X represents the possibility that an unidentified infection may spread globally and start a pandemic. This study explored various aspects of emerging non‐polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) as a possible source of “Disease X,” an enigmatic agent declared by the World Health Organization, and discussed the potential impact of ...

Neurotropic enteroviruses (Picornaviridae: Enterovirus): predominant types, basis of neurovirulence
Enteroviruses are one of the most common causative agents of infectious diseases of the central nervous system. They are characterized by genetic variability, the ability to infect a wide range of cells, including brain microglial cells and astrocytes ...

Molecular evolution of types in non-polio enteroviruses
Non-polio enteroviruses are a ubiquitous and divergent group of non-enveloped RNA viruses. Novel types are reported regularly in addition to over 100 known types; however, mechanisms of emergence of novel types remain obscure. Here, the 33 most common types represented by 35-629 non-redundant partial VP1 sequences in GenBank were studied in parallel ...
