1.Laboratory-based activities are essential for monitoring non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs)2.Despite their significant impact, there is no international surveillance for NPEVs3.This study investigated 35,532 respiratory samples for NPEV-RNA over one year4.78.7% of NPEV-positive cases were in children under 15 years of age5.Molecular testing and sequencing revealed an EV-D68 and an echovirus-11 outbreak.
