Some of the earlier studies were reviewed here in 1951.1The Coxsackie viruses, like the polioviruses and ECHO viruses, are enteric viruses. They are acquired presumably by ingestion, they are disseminated in the feces, and they have been found in sewage and in pools of flies, doubtless as a result of fecal contamination. They are worldwide in distribution. They have been recovered during...1 Editorial: Coxsackie viruses, Ann. Int. Med. 34: 257-263, 1951. LinkGoogle Scholar2 Dalldorf G: The Coxsackie viruses, Bull.
