Received: 15 October 2019; Accepted: 21 November 2019; Published: 25 November 2019 Abstract: Using the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) from poliovirus (PV) as our model system, we have shown that Lys-359 in motif-D functions as a general acid in the mechanism of nucleotidyl transfer. A K359H (KH) RdRp derivative is slow and faithful relative to wild-type enzyme. In the context of the KH virus, RdRp-coding sequence evolves, selecting for the following substitutions: I331F (IF, motif-C) and P356S (PS, motif-D). We have evaluated IF-KH, PS-KH, and IF-PS-KH viruses and enzymes. The speed and fidelity of each double mutant are equivalent. Each exhibits a unique recombination phenotype, with IF-KH being competent for copy-choice recombination and PS-KH being competent for forced-copy-choice recombination.

  • Rapid Risk Assessment – Enterovirus Detections Associated with Severe Neurological Symptoms in Children and Adults in European Countries, 8 August 2016
    RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT Enterovirus detections associated with severe neurological symptoms in children and adults in European countries 8 August 2016 6 Main conclusions and options for response09 August 2016 Since April 2016, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom (Wales) have reported severe enterovirus infections associated with a variety of different strains. Compared with previous years, the Netherlands and Germany also reported increased detection of enterovirus-D68 and other enteroviruses. In addition, Ireland reported an increasing number in enterovirus-associated viral meningitis cases. The timing of the current epidemics closely follows the usual increase in summer, but reports suggest that seasonal enterovirus (EV) activity in the EU/EEA Member States started earlier than in previous years. Some Member States also report an increased frequency of severe disease associated with EV infection. While it is difficult to interpret these observations in the absence of robust historical data, Member States should consider raising awareness of the importance of including EV infection in the differential diagnosis of neurological and severe respiratory illness in order to identify cases and initiate appropriate precautions, as well as to provide more robust epidemiological information. Reporting of enterovirus clusters and outbreaks through the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) in EU/EEA countries is encouraged. The full molecular and biological characterisation of the isolates from the current outbreaks will possibly enhance the understanding of the pattern of enterovirus epidemiology in Europe, including trends in subgenotypes associated with more severe clinical disease and molecular epidemiological links to strains between countries and from outside Europe. Increased numbers of EV-A71 and EV-D68 detections reinforce the need for vigilance for enterovirus infections, especially cases that present with more severe clinical syndromes.

  • Acute Flaccid Myelitis Associated with Enterovirus-D68 Infection in An
    Esposito et al. Virology Journal (2017) 14:4 DOI 10.1186/s12985-016-0678-0 CASEREPORT Open Access Acute flaccid myelitis associated with enterovirus-D68 infection in an otherwise healthy child Susanna Esposito1*, Giovanna Chidini2, Claudia Cinnante3, Luisa Napolitano2, Alberto Giannini2, Leonardo Terranova1, Hubert Niesters4, Nicola Principi1 and Edoardo Calderini2 Abstract Background: Reporting new cases of enterovirus (EV)-D68-associated acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is essential to understand how the virus causes neurological damage and to characterize EV-D68 strains associated with AFM. Case presentation: A previously healthy 4-year-old boy presented with sudden weakness and limited mobility in his left arm. Two days earlier, he had an upper respiratory illness with mild fever. At admission, his physical examination showed that the child was febrile (38.5 °C) and alert but had a stiff neck and weakness in his left arm, which was hypotonic and areflexic. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination showed a mild increase in white blood cell count (80/mm3,41% neutrophils) and a slightly elevated protein concentration (76 gm/dL). Bacterial culture and molecular biology tests for detecting viral infection in CSF were negative. The patient was then treated with intravenous ceftriaxone and acyclovir. Despite therapy, within 24 h, the muscle weakness extended to all four limbs, which exhibited greatly reduced mobility. Due to his worsening clinical prognosis, the child was transferred to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit; at admission he was diagnosed with acute flaccid paralysis of all four limbs. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was negative, except for a focal signal alteration in the dorsal portion of the medulla oblongata, also involving the pontine tegmentum, whereas spine MRI showed an extensive signal alteration of the cervical and dorsal spinal cord reported as myelitis.
