AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the genetic variability of echovirus 6 (E6) in Poland, analyzing samples from environmental sources and aseptic meningitis cases between 2006 and 2014.
- The findings revealed significant diversity in the VP1 region of E6, identifying four groups circulating in Poland, with environmental strains clustering mostly in three groups.
- The research highlighted the emergence of a new epidemic variant from Asia during a 2012 outbreak, underscoring the importance of ongoing surveillance for both clinical and environmental strains of E6.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic variability of echovirus 6 (E6) isolates from environmental samples and clinical cases of aseptic meningitis from 2006 to 2014. The analysis of the VP1 region showed the extensive diversity (up to 18.8%) and revealed that E6 circulating in Poland belong to four groups. Environmental strains clustered in three groups excepting the 2012 outbreak group, which shows the sudden introduction of new epidemic variant with Asiatic origin. Data from the study established relationships of E6 from Poland with previously characterized strains and confirmed the importance of both clinical and environmental surveillance. J. Med.
