Article Synopsis
  • Human noroviruses (HuNoVs), particularly the GII.4 genotype, cause widespread gastroenteritis, and there hasn't been any research on their genetic diversity in the Sverdlovsk region.
  • A study conducted from 2022 to 2023 analyzed fecal samples from children with HuNoV-AGE, uncovering that 86% of the identified genotypes belonged to the GII genogroup, with GII.4 and GII.17 being the most common.
  • The phylogenetic analysis revealed a close genetic relationship among the viruses in the region, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring to enhance public health responses and reduce gastroenteritis cases.

Human non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) are the etiological agents involved in most cases of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD), herpangina and aseptic meningitis. Information on the epidemiology profiles of NPEV in the Ural Federal District and Western Siberia is very limited, with no published data available. The aim of this study is to describe NPEV incidence in the Ural Federal District and Western Siberia among patients with different forms of non-polio enterovirus infections (NPEVIs) during 2022, stratified by age and clinical manifestations.
