The proteostasis network guarantees successful protein synthesis, folding, transportation, and degradation. Mounting evidence has revealed that this network maintains proteome integrity and is linked to cellular physiology, pathology, and virus infection. Human enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and EV-D68 are suspected causative agents of acute flaccid myelitis, a severe poliomyelitis-like neurologic syndrome with no known cure. In this context, further clarification of the molecular mechanisms underlying EV-A71 and EV-D68 infection is paramount. Here, we summarize the components of the proteostasis network that are intercepted by EV-A71 and EV-D68, as well as antivirals that target this network and may help develop improved antiviral drugs.

Enteroviruses (EVs) are a highly diverse group of viruses multiplying primarily in the gastrointestinal tract and/or the upper respiratory tract, initially distributed in two separate genera: Enterovirus and Rhinovirus, respectively. According to the similarities in genome organization and particle structure, rhinovirus species were later reclassified as also belonging to genus Enterovirus. Human EV infections are usually asymptomatic or causing mild clinical manifestations.

Enteroviruses and rhinoviruses are highly diverse, with over 300 identified types. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays targeting their VP1, VP4, and partial VP2 (VP4-pVP2) genomic regions are used for detection and identification. The VP4-pVP2 region is particularly sensitive to RT-PCR detection, making it efficient for clinical specimen analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Enteroviruses, including polioviruses and non-polio variants, are a significant health concern, with over 116 types affecting humans annually.
- A novel peptide called P25 from EV-D68 shows broad antiviral activity against multiple enterovirus species by targeting key viral structures and functions.
- P25 has the potential to serve as a universal anti-enterovirus drug candidate due to its ability to block viral receptor binding, inhibit viral genome release, and reduce the production of infectious viral particles.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used data from various health monitoring systems to identify trends in outpatient visits, with daily cases ranging from 10 to 7600, and found the coxsackie A virus to be the most common strain.
- * Significant increases in specific EV strains were noted in certain years, revealing that changes in virus prevalence and outbreak clusters occurred over the decade.

Article Synopsis
- Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a sickness caused by enteroviruses that mostly affects kids under five years old.
- It can cause fever, mouth sores, and rashes on hands and feet, but most kids get better without serious problems.
- Scientists are studying HFMD to find vaccines and better ways to track and prevent it because some cases can lead to serious health issues.
