Key result
Enteroviruses and Parechoviruses are associated with a wide range of diseases, resulting in a significant global burden with an estimated 1 billion people infected annually.
Why the study?
Enteroviruses and parechoviruses are common human viruses associated with a wide range of diseases and syndromes, but their overall public health impact requires comprehensive understanding.
Enteroviruses and Parechoviruses cause a significant global disease burden, including cardiovascular manifestations like myocarditis.
Enteroviruses (EV) comprise viruses originally classified on cell culture replication patterns and clinical manifestations into a number of groups: poliovirus, coxsackievirus A, coxsackievirus B and ECHOvirus. The closely related genus Parechovirus has more recently been associated with human disease. EVs are common commensals of the human gut, often found without any ill effects on the person, but are also associated with a wide range of diseases and syndromes including non-specific rash illnesses, hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), conjunctivitis, meningitis and encephalitis, myocarditis and polio. This results in a significant burden of disease worldwide, often due to a particular genotype of EV. An estimated 1 billion people are infected with EV every year.

Knippenberg et al. (2017) conducted a review in Enterovirus and Parechovirus infections. Enteroviruses and Parechoviruses was evaluated. Enteroviruses and Parechoviruses are associated with a wide range of diseases, resulting in a significant global burden with an estimated 1 billion people infected annually.
