The paper develops a real-time RT-PCR assay, CDC2022, that detects all extant EV-D68 strains with 100% sensitivity and specificity.

This study compares the Illumina MiSeq and Ion Torrent platforms for whole-genome sequencing of picornaviruses and caliciviruses, finding that Ion Torrent S5 outperforms PGM in data quality and cost, while MiSeq is more cost-effective for lower throughput runs.

This study identifies high levels of enterovirus antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid of children with acute flaccid myelitis compared to controls, suggesting a causal role for non-polio enteroviruses.
