Enterovirus (more than 60 known serotypes)

Enteroviruses are transmitted through the fecal-oral route and are highly communicable. Generally, viral shedding persists long after symptoms cease so that transmission occurs frequently, particularly in schools, childcare centers, and with close contact. Enteroviruses cause a wide variety of syndromes that range in severity from mild and non-neurologic to neurologic, paralytic, and fatal. Some examples are assorted enteroviral exanthems (rashes), Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC), Poliomyelitis, Pleurodynia and Myalgia.
