Enterovirus 71 (EV71) has caused large hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) epidemics among young children, and EV71 infection is the leading cause of severe HFMD cases and deaths. In mainland China, the prevalence and risk factors of non-C4 EV71 strains are still unclear. In this study, we monitored non-C4 strains over a 10-year HFMD epidemiological surveillance period in Xiamen. The 5'UTR and VP1 coding region of EV71 strains were amplified by RT-nested PCR and sequenced. Thirty-two non-C4 EV71 strains were identified during 2009-2018. This study provides important information about the prevalence of EV71 in China that will be applicable for development of vaccines and diagnostic reagents as well as establishment of policies for HFMD prevention and control.

Platelet factor 4-derived C15 peptide broadly inhibits enteroviruses by disrupting viral attachment.

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).

'Frozen' virus genome sequences are sampled from outbreaks and have unusually low sequence divergence when compared to genome sequences from historical strains. A growing number of 'frozen' virus genome sequences are being reported as virus genome sequencing becomes more common. Examples of 'frozen' sequences include the 1977 H1N1 'Russian' flu; Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus from Venezuela and Colombia in 1995; E71 sequences from a Hand, Foot and Mouth outbreak in 2007-2009 in China; and a polio strain isolated in 2014 from Anhui, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in Shanghai, particularly among young children, and its causes and trends are changing, requiring ongoing research for effective control.
  • A study tracked HFMD cases in Fengxian District from 2009 to 2022, documenting over 27,000 cases with peaks in spring and summer, and identified significant relationships with various weather conditions.
  • The analysis revealed demographic trends, such as a higher incidence in boys and children aged 1-3, and highlighted a shift in dominant viral strains from Enterovirus 71 and Coxsackievirus A16 to Coxsackievirus A6 after 2017, indicating evolving patterns in HFMD prevalence

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a contagious viral infection predominantly affecting infants and young children, caused by multiple enteroviruses, including Enterovirus 71 (EV71), Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16), Coxsackievirus A10 (CA10), and Coxsackievirus A6 (CA6). The high pathogenicity of HFMD has garnered significant attention. Currently, there is no specific treatment or broad-spectrum preventive measure available for HFMD, and existing monovalent vaccines have limited impact on the overall incidence or prevalence of the disease.

Background: EV71 is one of the important pathogens of Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD), which causes serious neurological symptoms. Several studies have speculated that there will be interaction between 5'UTR and 3D protein. However, whether 5'UTR interacts with the 3D protein in regulating virus replication has not been clarified.
