Abstract excerpt
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has been recently identified in biennial epidemics coinciding with diagnoses of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis/myelitis (AFP/AFM). We investigated the prevalence, genetic relatedness and associated clinical features of EV-D68 in 194 known EV positive samples from late 2018, UK. EV-D68 was detected in 83 (58%) of the 143 EV positive samples. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed...
