Co-circulation of multiple enterovirus D68 subclades, including a novel B3 cluster, across Europe in a season of expected low prevalence, 2019/20
Résumé
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is primarily a respiratory virus. Previously published data have suggested circulation with a biennial epidemic cycle in Europe and North America [1-3], but surveillance is not consistent. The Danish enterovirus surveillance detected two cases of EV-D68 infection in August 2019 and a further case in early September. Colleagues in other European countries were contacted, and France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden responded that they had also seen cases. Here we report on the start of seasonal circulation of EV-D68 in five European countries, a circulation which is still ongoing with further cases detected since the initial submission of this report.
