Introduction

Human Enterovirus is a genus of (+)ssRNA viruses associated with several human and mammalian diseases.
Until now, 66 serotypes are known of which there are 62 non-polio Enteroviruses that can cause disease in humans: 23 Coxsackie A viruses, 6 Coxsackie B viruses, 28 echoviruses, and 5 other Enteroviruses. Enteroviruses are ubiquitous pathogens with a high incidence worldwide (ca. 500 million infections/year) and are often found in the respiratory secretions (e.g., saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus) and stool of an infected person. Enteroviruses may cause life-threatening infections, especially among children when diseases such as myocarditis, paralysis, multiple organ failure, meningitis and encephalitis may be associated with infections.
