Abstract

Enteroviruses (EV) are ubiquitous. Most infections are mild. However severe and even fatal infections occur, in particular among young children. This Research Topic on “Enterovirus Surveillance in Europe and Beyond” entails five research articles on EV circulation in Europe over a prolonged period including the COVID-19 pandemic years of 2020-2021. The studies describe both the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of EV infections, where two studies specifically focus on EV-D68 circulation (Uršič et al., Landaas et al.) and a fatal infection of EV-A71 (Nieminem et al.).
