What is enterovirus?

Question

As what diseases does it manifest?

Answer 1

Enteroviruses are small viruses that are made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein.

Most people who are infected with an enterovirus have no disease at all. Infected persons who become ill usually develop either mild upper respiratory symptoms (a "summer cold"), a flu-like illness with fever and muscle aches, or an illness with rash. Less commonly, some persons have "aseptic" or viral meningitis. Rarely, a person may develop an illness that affects the heart (myocarditis) or the brain (encephalitis) or causes paralysis. Enterovirus infections are suspected to play a role in the development of juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes).

Answer 2

The enteroviruses are a genus of (+)ssRNA viruses associated with several human and mammalian diseases. Historically the most significant has been the Poliovirus (which is now nearly extinct). Coxsackie viruses (a non phylogenic group) are associated with human hand, foot and mouth disease. Echoviruses are a cause of many of the non-specific viral infections. Hepatitis A virus is also a picornavirus.





The human enteroviruses are ubiquitous, enterically transmitted viruses that cause a wide spectrum of both common and uncommon illnesses among infants and children. In temperate climates, enterovirus infections occur mainly in the summer and fall. We will discuss enteroviruses other than polioviruses. Enteroviruses are members of the family Picornaviridae. The genus Enterovirus is now divided into five major groups: polioviruses, group A coxsackieviruses, group B coxsackiviruses, echoviruses and (newer) enteroviruses. The hepatitis A virus is no longer classified as an enterovirus because of the significant genetic diversity at the VP1 locus which is characteristic of the enteroviruses by viral RNA sequencing. The 15 most common enterovirus serotypes reported to the CDC between 1970 and 1983 listed on the table below. They accounted for 65-89% of all submitted enterovirus isolates each year. Enteroviruses are shed in the upper respiratory tract for 1-3 weeks and in the feces for up to 8 weeks after primary infection. The fecal-oral route is thought to be the predominant mode of enterovirus transmission, although some exceptions occur including coxsackie A21, which is spread mainly by respiratory secretions, and enterovirus 70, which is shed in tears and spread via fingers and fomites. Direct contact with feces occurs with activities such as diaper changing. Indirect transmission is seen with poor sanitary conditions and may occur via numerous routes including contaminated water, food, and fomites. Infants, particularly those in diapers, appear to be the most efficient transmitters of infection.

Answer 4

Any of a subgroup of picornaviruses, including polioviruses, coxsackieviruses, and echoviruses, that infect the gastrointestinal tract and often spread to other areas of the body, especially the nervous system.

Answer 7

Look it up oin the web many sites offer info many different types of enterovirus, so better to look for yourself

Answer 8

"Human enteroviruses (family Picornaviridae) infect millions of people worldwide each year, resulting in a wide range of clinical outcomes ranging from unapparent infection to mild respiratory illness (common cold), hand, foot and mouth disease, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, severe neonatal sepsis-like disease, and acute flaccid paralysis. In the United States, enteroviruses are responsible for 30,000 to 50,000 meningitis hospitalizations per year as a result of 30 million to 50 million infections. Serologic studies have distinguished 66 human enterovirus serotypes on the basis of an antibody neutralization test, and additional antigenic variants have been defined within several of the serotypes on the basis of reduced or nonreciprocal cross-neutralization between prototype and variant strains. On the basis of their pathogenesis in humans and experimental animals, the enteroviruses were originally classified into four groups, polioviruses, coxsackie A viruses (CA), coxsackie B viruses (CB), and echoviruses, but it was quickly realized that there were significant overlaps in the biological properties of viruses in the different groups. The more recently isolated enteroviruses have been named with a system of consecutive numbers: EV68, EV69, EV70, and EV71."[1] good luck may god watch over you & your baby

Answer 10

It seems to be a bad cold as I remember or like Meningitis which you can have fever, rash and cold. Chances are they will pass. You will than get immunity from the virus.
