Key result
Enterovirus C105 was identified for the first time in New Zealand in a 52-year-old male hospitalized with mild respiratory tract symptoms.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of enterovirus surveillance for detecting the importation of new genotypes such as EV-C105.
Supports strengthened enterovirus surveillance to detect imported genotypes in New Zealand; leaves clinical and epidemiologic implications open.
We report on the first identification of Enterovirus C105 (EV-C105) in New Zealand from a 52-year-old male hospitalized with mild respiratory tract symptoms. Enterovirus genotyping was performed by partial sequencing of the VP1 region of the enterovirus genome. This highlights the importance of enterovirus surveillance for detection of the importation of new genotypes such as EV-C105, thus allowing a better understanding of the roles they play in disease.
