Examples
We know there will be more children and adults susceptible to enterovirus D-68, influenza, parainfluenza, RSV.
Other patients do test positive for another enterovirus, EV-A71, which seems to target kids younger than the five-year-old average and offer a somewhat better prognosis for recovery.
Usually they trade sniffles and exaggerated stories of late night derring-do; now they are exchanging enterovirus EV-68.
The viral infection sending hundreds of Midwestern kids to the hospital is EV-68, a rather nasty strain of enterovirus.
This strain of enterovirus seems unusually provocative in irritating lower airways, thereby causing airway narrowing.
Polio is an enterovirus (lives and is replicated in our intestines) that is spread via fecal-oral transmission.
Polio is one of many viruses belonging to the "enterovirus" family.
