Human echovirus 11 (E-11), a member of the species Enterovirus B, frequently causes aseptic meningitis and hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). We determined the complete genome sequence of strain 520K/YN/CHN/2010, isolated from a subject with HFMD and aseptic meningitis in Yunnan Province, China, in 2010. The strain shared 78.8% and 81.1% nucleotide sequence similarity with prototype strain Gregory in the complete VP1 gene and the complete genome, respectively. Only the VP2-VP3-VP1 genome region of 520K/YN/CHN/2010 was similar to that of the E-11 strain; the other genome regions were most similar to those of other members of the species Enterovirus B. Using phylogenetic analysis and sequence comparisons of the complete VP1 gene, E-11 strains could be divided into five genogroups, and the 520K/YN/CHN/2010 strain was found to belong to genogroup A. Recombination analysis showed evidence of recombination with other member of the species Enterovirus B, especially the E-9 strain MSH/KM812/2010. Persistent surveillance of HFMD pathogens might help predict potential emerging viruses and related disease outbreaks.

A Roadmap Towards the Identification and Validation of Conserved T Cell Epitope Regions in Viral Pathogen Families with Pandemic Potential.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted the need for society, as a whole, to be prepared against potential pandemics caused by a variety of different viral families of concern. Here, we describe a roadmap towards the identification and validation of conserved T cell epitope regions from Viral Families of Pandemic Potential (VFPP). For each viral family, we select a prototype virus, the sequence of which could be utilized in epitope identification screens.

Human enteric viruses can remain infective in surface waters for extended periods of time, posing a public health risk. Microbial activity contributes to the inactivation of waterborne enteric viruses, but while individual bacteria-virus interactions have been characterized, the importance of microbial diversity remains unknown. Here, we experimentally manipulated the diversity of bacterial communities from Lake Geneva across three seasons using a dilution-to-extinction approach and monitored the inactivation and genome decay of echovirus 11, a member of the genus.

Unlabelled: Platelet factor 4 (PF4) has been shown to regulate several viral infections. Our previous study demonstrated that PF4 inhibits the entry of enterovirus A 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CA16), which cause hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). In this study, we report that PF4 also inhibits the circulating HFMD pathogen coxsackievirus A6 (CA6) and the re-emerging enterovirus D68 (EVD68).

In the context of the near-global eradication of wild poliovirus, the significance of non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) in causing acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) and their impact on public health has gained increased attention. This research, conducted from 2001 to 2021, examined stool samples from 1597 children under 15 years in São Paulo, Brazil, through the AFP/Poliomyelitis Surveillance Program, detecting NPEVs in 6.9% of cases.
