Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enteroviruses (EVs) are common human and animal pathogens which contain a positive-sense (+) single-stranded RNA viral genome. EVs infect millions of people annually, and result in a variety of symptoms from wild respiratory illness to hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD); myocarditis; aseptic meningitis; acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis; and severe neurological disorders such as neonatal sepsis-like diseases, acute flaccid paralysis and even quick disease.
This Special Issue will focus on the current advances on EV research, including host–virus interaction, virus detection, mechanisms of viral pathogenesis, factors involved in infectivity and virulence, signal transduction, viral immunology, and drug development. Comprehensive review and research articles are welcome.
