Abstract excerpt
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is associated with respiratory disease in children. Between 2014 and 2018, EV-D68 infection was linked to peaks of a polio-like neurologic condition called acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), but currently circulating strains are not. We hypothesized that specific mutations within B3 clade strains impact neurovirulence. Few studies have investigated B3 clade strains, and none have recovered...
