Enteroviruses

Enteroviruses

Enteroviruses are in the picornavirus family and include polioviruses, coxsackie viruses and echoviruses. There are more than 70 subtypes of enteroviruses capable of causing human infection. These viruses have a predilection for Central Nervous System (CNS) infection, and have been reported to cause over 75% of aseptic meningitis cases, and as many as 27% of infectious encephalitis cases. The enteroviruses have also been associated with a number of other acute CNS infections, including transverse myelitis and flaccid paralysis. Although these viruses have a tendency to cause infection in summer and fall, they are also associated with more than half all cases of aseptic meningitis in winter and spring. PrimeOA Publications International is one of the leading Open Access Publishers which is running 700+ peer-reviewed journals. Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology is one of the best open access journals with the wide range of area that deals with bacterial and parasitic infections.
