Why the study?
Enteroviruses have the potency to emerge as severe human pathogens, but the natural history and epidemiology of Enterovirus D111 are poorly studied.
High seroprevalence of EV-D111 in humans and non-human primates indicates active, largely undiagnosed virus circulation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Environmental EV-D111 detection signals potential zoonotic risk; leaves open need for human surveillance studies.
Kamau et al. (2023) studied this question.
