Echoviruses (E) are a diverse group of viruses responsible for various pathological conditions in humans including aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, and acute flaccid paralysis. The detection and identification of echovirus genotypes in clinical samples is challenging due to its high genetic diversity. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of nine echoviruses, obtained by next-generation sequencing of 238 fecal samples from individuals with gastroenteritis in regions of Brazil.

- * A study in Brazil analyzed 251 fecal samples from children with acute gastroenteritis, identifying HuV in 1.9% of the samples, affecting 5 children aged around 2 years.
- * Detailed genetic analysis revealed that Brazilian HuVs show less than 11% nucleotide divergence among themselves and are closely related to a strain from Vietnam in 2013, with at least two distinct clades identified in South America.
Diarrhea remains one of the most common causes of deaths in children. Although many studies have investigated the prevalence of enteric pathogens around the globe some diarrheal episodes remain unexplained. It is possible that some yet-unidentified viral agents could be related to these cases of gastroenteritis.
