[PMID: 36992403 PMCID: PMC10052898 DOI: 10.3390/v15030694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by enteroviruses other than enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) has gradually increased. The throat swab specimens of 2701 HFMD cases were tested, the VP1 regions of CVA10 RNA were amplified using RT-PCR, and phylogenetic analysis of CVA10 was performed. Children aged 1–5 years accounted for the majority (81.65%) and boys were more than girls. The positivity rates of EV-A71, CVA16, and other EVs were 15.22% (219/1439), 28.77% (414/1439), and 56.01% (806/1439), respectively. CVA10 is one of the important viruses of other EVs. A total of 52 CVA10 strains were used for phylogenetic analysis based on the VP1 region, 31 were from this study, and 21 were downloaded from GenBank. All CVA10 sequences could be assigned to seven genotypes (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G), and genotype C was further divided into C1 and C2 subtypes, only one belonged to subtype C1 and the remaining 30 belonged to C2 in this study. This study emphasized the importance of strengthening the surveillance of HFMD to understand the mechanisms of pathogen variation and evolution, and to provide a scientific basis for HFMD prevention, control, and vaccine development.

Abstract
The reported enterovirus A 71 (EVA71) vaccines and immunoglobin G (IgG) antibodies have no cross-antiviral efficacy against other enterovirus A (EV-A) which caused hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Here we constructed an IgM antibody (20-IgM) based on our previous discovery to address the resistance encountered by IgG-based immunotherapy. Although binding to the same conserved neutralizing epitope within the GH loop of EV-As VP1, the antiviral breath and potency of 20-IgM are still higher than its parental 20-IgG1. The 20-IgM blocks the interaction between the EV-As and its receptors, scavenger receptor class B, member 2 (SCARB2) and Kringle-containing transmembrane protein 1(KREMEN1) of the host cell. The 20-IgM also neutralizes the EV-As at the post-attachment stages, including postattachment neutralization, uncoating and RNA release inhibition after internalization. Mechanistically, the dual blockage effect of 20-IgM is dependent on both a conserved site targeting and high affinity binding. Meanwhile, 20-IgM provides cross-antiviral efficacy in EV-As orally infected neonatal ICR mice. Collectively, 20-IgM and its property exhibit excellent antiviral activity with a dual-blockage inhibitory effect at both the pre- and post-attachment stages. The finding enhances our understanding of IgM-mediated immunity and highlights the potential of IgM subtype antibodies against enterovirus infections.

Abstract
CVA6 is one of Enteroviruses causing worldwide epidemics of HFMD with neurological and systemic complications. A suitable animal model is necessary for studying the pathogenesis of CVA6 and evaluating antiviral and vaccine efficacy. In this study, we generated a mouse-adapted CVA6 strain that successfully infected 10-day-old ICR mice via oral route. All infected mice were paralyzed and died within 11 dpi. Analysis of pathological changes and virus loads in fourteen tissues showed that CVA6 triggered systematic damage similar to i.p. inoculation route. Unlike i.p. route, we detected oral and gastrointestinal lesions with the presence of viral antigens. Both specific anti-CVA6 serum and inactivated vaccines successfully generated immune protection in mice. Meanwhile, we also established a successful infection of CVA6 via i.p. and i.m. route in 10-day-old mice. After infection, mice developed remarkably neurological signs and systemic manifestations such as emaciation, polypnea, quadriplegia, depilation and even death. Through i.p. inoculation, pathological examination showed brain and spinal cord damage caused by the virus infection with neuronal reduction, apoptosis, astrocyte activation, and recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes. Following neurological manifestation, the CVA6 infection became systemic, and high viral loads were detected in multiple organs along with morphological changes and inflammation. Moreover, analysis of spleen cells by FACS indicated that CVA6 led to immune system activation, which further contributed to systemic inflammation. Taken together, our novel murine model of CVA6 provides a useful tool for studying the pathogenesis and evaluating antiviral and vaccine efficacy.

Impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 interventions on the incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease in mainland China. THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. WESTERN PACIFIC 2022; 20:100362. [PMID: 35005671 PMCID: PMC8720138 DOI: 10.1016/j.lanwpc.2021.100362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Background In early 2020, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were implemented in China to reduce and contain the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission. These NPIs might have also reduced the incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Methods The weekly numbers of HFMD cases and meteorological factors in 31 provincial capital cities and municipalities in mainland China were obtained from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) and National Meteorological Information Center of China from 2016 to 2020. The NPI data were collected from local CDCs. The incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated for the entire year of 2020, and for January-July 2020 and August-December 2020. The expected case numbers were estimated using seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average models. The relationships between kindergarten closures and incidence of HFMD were quantified using a generalized additive model. The estimated associations from all cities were pooled using a multivariate meta-regression model. Findings Stringent NPIs were widely implemented for COVID-19 control from January to July 2020, and the IRRs for HFMD were less than 1 in all 31 cities, and less than 0·1 for 23 cities. Overall, the proportion of HFMD cases reduced by 52·9% (95% CI: 49·3-55·5%) after the implementation of kindergarten closures in 2020, and this effect was generally consistent across subgroups. Interpretation The decrease in HFMD incidence was strongly associated with the NPIs for COVID-19. HFMD epidemic peaks were either absent or delayed, and the final epidemic size was reduced. Kindergarten closure is an intervention to prevent HFMD outbreaks.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) poses a great threat to young children in the Asia-Pacific region. HFMD is usually caused by enterovirus A, and infection with enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is particularly associated with severe complications. However, coxsackievirus CV-A16, CV-A6, and CV-A10 pandemics have been observed in recent HFMD outbreaks. Inactivated monovalent EV-A71 vaccines are available to prevent EV-A71 infection; however, they cannot prevent infections by non-EV-A71 enteroviruses. Anti-enteroviral drugs are still in the developmental stage. Application of novel strategies will facilitate the development of new therapies against these emerging HFMD-associated enteroviruses. AREAS COVERED The authors highlight the current approaches for anti-enterovirus therapeutic development and discuss the application of these novel strategies for the discovery of vaccines and antiviral drugs for enteroviruses. EXPERT OPINION The maturation of DNA/RNA vaccine technology could be applied for rapid and robust development of multivalent enterovirus vaccines. Structure biology and neutralization antibody studies decipher the immunodominant sites of enteroviruses for vaccine design. Nucleotide aptamer library screening is a novel, fast, and cost-effective strategy for the development of antiviral agents. Animal models carrying viral receptors and attachment factors are required for enterovirus study and vaccine/antiviral development. Currently developed antivirals require effectiveness evaluation in clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the potent and broad neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) against enterovirus A (EV-A) in vitro and in vivo induced by enterovirus A71(EVA71) and coxsackievirus 16 (CVA16) co-immunization. METHODS The mAb was Generated by co-immunization with EVA71 and CVA16 through hybridomas technology. The characteristics and neutralizing ability of mAb were analysed in vitro and in mice. RESULTS We screened three mAb, the IgM antibody M20 and IgG antibody B1 and C31. All three antibodies showed cross-reactivity against tetra-EV-As. However, M20 showed potent and broad neutralizing ability against tetra-EV-As than B1 and C31. Meanwhile, M20 provided cross-antiviral efficacy in tetra-EV-As orally infected mice. Moreover, M20 binds to a conserved neutralizing epitope within the GH loop of tetra-EV-As VP1. CONCLUSIONS M20 and its property exhibited potent and broad antiviral activity against tetra-EV-As, and that is expected to be a potential preventive and therapeutic candidate against EV-As.

Abstract
Enterovirus A (EV-A) species are the main agents responsible for hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), a serious public health concern. Lack of appropriate reagents prevents the mechanistic study of these virus infections. 2C protein, a non-structural protein of Enterovirus, is crucial for viral replication and antiviral immunity. Here, preparation and testing of a monoclonal antibody by immunizing mice with Coxsackievirus A10 protein 2C (CVA10-2C) was reported. This antibody could identify most EV-A types, both conventional and unconventional groups. We also mapped the antibody epitope SLATGIIARA, which is highly conserved in EV-A species and located in the ATPase domain. Some key amino acids include G140, I141, I142, and R144. In conclusion, we generated a recombinant monoclonal antibody against multiple EVA types and confirmed its performance, which may facilitate the future study of Enterovirus A infection and many potential applications, such as the diagnosis of pathogen or the development of antiviral therapies.

Abstract
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a contagious disease that threatens the health of children under 5 years of age. Coxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10) is one of the main pathogens of HFMD. Currently, preventive vaccines and specific therapeutic drugs are not available for CV-A10. In this study, a total of 327 stool specimens were collected from pediatric patients from 2009 to 2017 during HFMD surveillance, among which 14 CV-A10 strains could only be isolated from RD cells, but not from KMB17 and Vero cells. Through adaptive culture, two and 11 CV-A10 strains were recovered from Vero and KMB17 cell cultures, respectively. The growth of CV-A10 strains in Vero cells was better than that in KMB17 cells. The 14 CV-A10 strains belonged to the F genotype, and the nucleotides and amino acids of their complete genomes shared 92.6% - 96.3% and 98.4 - 98.9% identities, respectively. The different CV-A10 strains exhibited varying virulence in vivo, but had similar effects on tissue injury, with the hind limb muscles, kidneys, and lungs being severely affected. Additionally, the hind limb muscles had the highest viral loads. CV-A10 was found to exhibit strong tropism to muscle tissue. The results of this study are critical to developing vaccines against CV-A10 infections. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Microb Pathog 2020; 150:104603. [PMID: 33271234 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2020.104603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 10/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) is one of the major etiological agents of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), a common acute infectious disease affecting infants and young children. Severe symptoms of the central nervous system may develop and even lead to death. Here, a plaque-purified CVA16 strain, L731-P1 (P1), was serially passaged in Vero cells for six times and passage 6 (P6) stock became highly attenuated in newborn mice. Genomic sequencing of the P1 and P6 revealed seven nucleotide substitutions at positions 1434 (C to U), 2744 (A to G), 2747 (A to G), 3161 (G to A), 3182 (A to G), 4968 (C to U), and 6064 (C to U). Six of these substitutions resulted in amino acid changes at VP2-T161 M, VP1-N102D, VP1-T103A, VP1-E241K, VP1-T248A, and 2C-S297F, respectively. P1-based infectious cDNA was generated to further investigate these virulent determinants. Independent reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplifications for mutant constructions and plaque-purification of the P6 for isolation of variants were performed to determine dominant mutations and strains more related to attenuation. The virulent P1, attenuated P6, as well as a plaque purified strain (PP) and other four recombinant mutants, were inoculated into one-day-old BALB/c mice and the 50% lethal dose of each strain was determined. Comparison of virulence among these strains indicated that amino acid changes of VP1-N102D, VP1-E241K and 2C-S297F might be associated more closely with a high level attenuation of CVA16-L731-P6 than other mutations. Identification of novel residues associated with virulence may contribute to understanding of molecular basis of virulence of CVA16 and other enteroviruses.

Abstract
Thailand is one of the countries in the Asia-pacific region that has been most affected by the Enterovirus-A71 (EV-A71) epidemic. An individual who is susceptible to EV-A71 may also be infected asymptomatically, thus, a serological assay is a useful tool to estimate the cumulative incidence of infection in the community and to provide guidance for vaccination scheduling. There have been several candidate EV-A71 vaccines, of which three have been approved and licensed in China. The population target for EV-A71 vaccine is children younger than three years of age. In Thailand, there are limited data available on the seroprevalence of EV-A71 neutralizing (NT) antibodies and the timing of seroconversion in children. This study aims to investigate the seroprevalence and seroconversion rate of EV-A71 NT antibody in a cohort of Thai children. Sera were collected at the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand from 100 children between 2015 and 2020. Maternal sera were collected on the day of delivery. Serum samples from children were collected at birth (month 0) and at 2, 7, 18, 24, 36, and 48 months of age to test for EV-A71 NT antibody titers using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based microneutralization test. The seroprotection rate (NT antibody ≥1:16) in children at months 0, 2, 7, 18, 24, 36, and 48 was 81.0%, 60.0%, 9.0%, 10.0%, 13.0%, 17.0%, and 37.1%, respectively. The seroprotection rate was lowest at month 7 due to waning of the maternal antibody and the immunity of children increased with increasing age. At 48 months of age, less than 40% of children were seroprotected. Children at the age of 6 months should be considered a primary target for vaccination.

[PMID: 32247566 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2020.03.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 03/06/2020] [Accepted: 03/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is mainly caused by EV-A71 and CV-A16. An increasing number of cases have been found to be caused by CV-A10, CV-A6, CV-B3 and the outbreaks are becoming increasingly more complex, often accompanied by the prevalence of a variety of enteroviruses. Based on the principle of synthetic peptide vaccines, we applied immune-informatics to design a highly efficient and safe multivalent epitope-based vaccine against EV-A71, CV-A16, CV-A10, CV-A6 and CV-B3. By screening B-cells, HTL and CTL cell antigen epitopes with high conservativity and immunogenicity that have no toxic effect on the host, further analysis confirmed that the vaccine built was IFN-γ inductive and IL-4 non-inductive HTL cell epitopes and had population coverage corresponding to MHC molecular alleles associated with T-cell phenotype. The multivalent enterovirus vaccine was constructed to connect the 50 s ribosomal protein L7/L12 adjuvant and candidate epitopes sequentially through appropriate linkers. Then, the antigenic, allergen and physical properties of the vaccine were evaluated, followed by a secondary structure analysis and tertiary structure modeling, disulfide engineering, refinement and validation. Moreover, the conformational B cell epitope of the vaccine was analyzed. The stability of the TLR4/MD2/Vaccine complex and details at atomic level were investigated by docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Finally, in silico immune simulation and in vivo immune experiments were done. This study provides a high cost-effective method of designing a multivalent enterovirus vaccine protect against a wide range of enterovirus pathogens.

The Clinical and Epidemiological Study of Children with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in Hunan, China from 2013 to 2017. Sci Rep 2019; 9:11662.

Abstract
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is endemic in the Pacific region, especially in mainland China. The case-fatality ratio of HFMD is increasing steadily. Knowledge of the changing epidemiology of HFMD in different regions is necessary for implementing appropriate intervention strategies. In this study, we describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of HFMD in Hunan Children’s Hospital between 2013 and 2017. A total of 7203 patients with HFMD were admitted, with complication and mortality rates of 35.62% and 0.78%, respectively. The total number of children with HFMD, proportion of severely ill children, and HFMD mortality rate were the highest in 2014. The number of cases caused by EV-A71 and CV-A16 decreased continuously, while the number of cases caused by ‘other enteroviruses’ increased yearly since 2014, suggesting that other enteric viruses will gradually replace EV-A71 and CV-A16 as the main pathogenic HFMD agents. Furthermore, EV-A71 and mixed infections accounted for the high case fatality rates in children with severe HFMD, among whom EV-A71 infection resulted in the highest complication and mortality rates; the mild form of the disease was dominated by ‘other enteroviruses’. In conclusion, the changing etiological pattern highlights the need to improve pathogen surveillance and vaccine strategies for HFMD control.

Abstract
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a public health issue in China, and its incidence in Guangdong Province is higher than the national average. Previous studies have found climatic factors have an influential role in the transmission of HFMD. Internet search technology has been shown to predict some infectious disease epidemics and is a potential resource in tracking epidemics in countries where the use of Internet search index data is prevalent. This study aims to improve the prediction of HFMD in two Chinese cities, Shantou and Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, applying both meteorological data and Baidu search indices to create a HFMD forecasting model. To this end, the relationship between meteorological factors and HFMD was found to be linear in both cities, while the relationship between search engine data and HFMD was not consistent. The results of our study suggest that using both Internet search and meteorological data can improve the prediction of HFMD incidence. Using comparative analysis of both cities, we posit that improved quality search indices enhance prediction of HFMD.

Abstract
Introduction The clinical and pathological correlation between hand–foot–mouth disease (HFMD) and ocular complications has not yet been established. However, individual case reports indicate a trend that may be the emergence of a new burden of the previous self-limiting virus. This virus is particularly prevalent in childcare centers and poses an infectious disease risk for this workplace. Objectives The primary objective of this case report is to describe an unusual clinical record of a patient who developed central serous retinopathy while unwell with HFMD. Discussion of management strategies for this workplace, its staff, and visitors is also included. Methods This was an observational case report that was identified and reported retrospectively. For comparison, a search of the literature to identify similar ocular complications of HFMD was also undertaken. Results from this search, in addition to international data and prevention and management strategies are also provided. Results A total of 13 individual case reports with ocular associations, including this clinical record, were identified in the literature worldwide. The median age was 33 years, and three patients (23%) were female. No treatment or management guidelines for ocular complications of HFMD have been identified. Conclusion Severe and potentially life-threatening complications of a seemingly harmless childhood illness are represented sporadically in the literature. The requirement for research and evaluation into this emerging occupational hazard area is necessary for improved prevention, management, and treatment strategies to be developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is endemic among population of young children in Thailand. The disease is mostly caused by enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CA16). METHODS This study conducted serosurveillance for neutralizing (NT) antibodies to EV71 subgenotypes B5 and C4a, and to CA16 subgenotypes B1a and B1b, in 579 subjects of various ages using a microneutralization assay in human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells. These test viruses were the major circulating subgenotypes associated with HFMD in Thailand during the study period. RESULTS We found that the levels of seropositivity against all 4 study viruses were lowest in the age group of 6-11 months, i.e., 5.5% had antibody to both EV71 subgenotypes, while 14.5% and 16.4% had antibody to CA16 subgenotypes B1a and B1b, respectively. The percentages of subjects with antibodies to these 4 viruses gradually increased with age, but were still less than 50% in children younger than 3 years. These laboratory data were consistent with the epidemiological data collected by the Ministry of Public Health which showed repeatedly that the highest number of HFMD cases was in children aged 1 year. Analyses of amino acid sequences of the test viruses showed 97% identity between the two subgenotypes of EV71, and 99% between the two subgenotypes of CA16. Nevertheless, the levels of seropositivity and antibody titer against the two subgenotypes of EV71 and of CA16 were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS This study clearly demonstrated NT antibody activity across EV71-B5 and EV71-C4a subgenotypes, and also across CA16-B1a and CA16-B1b subgenotypes. Moreover, there were no significant differences by gender in the seropositive rates and antibody levels to any of the 4 virus subgenotypes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a childhood illness commonly caused by enterovirus A. Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) are the most commonly identified viruses associated with HFMD. Recently, outbreaks caused by different enterovirus A including CV-A6 and CV-A10 are increasing. Being available now to protect against EV-A71 infection, inactivated EV-A71 vaccines cannot prevent coxsackievirus infections, thus limiting their general application in controlling HFMD. Multivalent HFMD vaccines are suggested to have broad cross-neutralizing responses against these emerging enteroviruses. AREAS COVERED We discuss the recent development of enterovirus A vaccines including the inactivated whole-virion vaccine and virus-like particle vaccine candidates and review the information of neutralization epitopes of these viruses. EXPERT COMMENTARY Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the coxsackievirus vaccine and the multivalent HFMD vaccine candidates in clinical trials is urgently required. Epitopic analysis showed that common immunodominant sites exist across these enteroviruses. However, variations of amino acid residues in these regions limit the induction of cross-neutralization antibodies, and therefore, a multivalent HFMD vaccine is required for broad protection against HFMD. With the inclusion of major circulating viruses in the development of multivalent HFMD vaccines, an increase in the success in HFMD control is anticipated.

Abstract
Background Coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) is one of the major agents to cause hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) outbreaks globally. The objective of this study is to investigate the epidemiologic and clinical manifestations of CVA6 outbreak, and thus guide the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as disease prevention. Methods An HFMD outbreak in a kindergarten was reported to Shijingshan District Center for Disease Control and Prevention (SCDC) on November 2, 2015 in Beijing, China. Epidemiological investigation was conducted. We performed a nine-week follow-up study to collect and analyze the clinical manifestations of HFMD cases. Results The outbreak yield 56 (15.7%) clinical diagnosed HFMD cases out of 357 registered children in the kindergarten with the mean age of 3.5 years old. This outbreak lasted for three days and ceased after initiating infectious disease controlling procedures, including periodical suspension of the kindergarten activities, environmental disinfection, and family health education. Fifty-one cases were followed for nine weeks. The positive rate of clinical manifestations of rash, fever, desquamation, pigmentation and onychomadesis were 100.0%, 84.3%, 68.6%, 17.6% and 43.1%, respectively. Children developed desquamation within the first 4 weeks after disease onset and developed onychomadesis between the 3th and 8th week after disease onset. Children with desquamation had 9.3 (95%CI: 1.836–47.437) times higher odds of developing onychomadesis compared to those without this manifestation. Ten out of 14 collected samples were CVA6 positive, and five positive samples shared a high degree of similarity in the VP1 nucleotide and amino acid sequences (99.9–100.0% and 100%). Conclusion This HFMD outbreak was caused by CVA6, featured with delayed symptoms. Emerging CVA6-associated HFMD and its delayed symptoms should be paid more attention to reduce outbreaks and provide more information to doctors and parents.

Abstract
Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is an acute infectious disease caused by serotypes of the enterovirus (EV) family. HFMD reinfection occurs commonly in lack of cross-protection between different EV serotypes. In this study, we investigated the hazards of HFMD reinfection using Cox-proportional hazard model. Retrospective data of 95 209 HFMD cases in Wuhan during 2008-2015 was used. Kaplan-Meier survival methods and Cox-proportional hazard model were used to estimate the hazard probabilities. Of the all HFMD cases, about 2% experienced reinfection (1842/95 209). Kaplan-Meier curves revealed the reinfection risk sharply increased before 40 months from first infection. Higher hazards of reinfection were detected among those who were males, aged 3 years and below, scattered children, belonging to urban areas and first infected with coxsackievirus (CV)-A16 compared with their respective counterparts. Cox-proportional hazard model suggested that gender, age, group, living area and serotypes of first infection had significant effect on reinfection even after adjusting for potential confounding effects of other selected factors considered in the study. These results indicate that boys aged 3 years and below, especially those living in urban areas and first infected with CV-A16 are more prone to reinfection. Interventions should be imposed on these high-risk populations.

Abstract
Picornaviruses are the most commonly encountered infectious agents in mankind. They typically cause mild infections of the gastrointestinal or respiratory tract, but sometimes also invade the central nervous system. There, they can cause severe diseases with long-term sequelae and even be lethal. The most infamous picornavirus is poliovirus, for which significant epidemics of poliomyelitis were reported from the end of the nineteenth century. A successful vaccination campaign has brought poliovirus close to eradication, but neurological diseases caused by other picornaviruses have increasingly been reported since the late 1990s. In this review we focus on enterovirus 71, coxsackievirus A16, enterovirus 68 and human parechovirus 3, which have recently drawn attention because of their links to severe neurological diseases. We discuss the clinical relevance of these viruses and the primary role of humoral immunity in controlling them, and summarize current knowledge on the neutralization of such viruses by antibodies.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a major cause of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD); however, no clinically approved vaccine or antiviral treatment is currently available for EV71 infection. In the present study, a murine model of EV71 infection was constructed. The clinical isolates of EV71 were amplified in Vero cells and used to challenge adult mice via hydrodynamic injection (HI) and intraperitoneal injection (IP). Following two challenges, >50% of the mice succumbed to EV71 infection. Surviving female mice were identified to have impaired fertility and their litter sizes were significantly decreased compared with the control group. The antibody against EV71-VP1 persisted in the sera of female mice at a high titer for >2 years after challenge. The maternal antibody in the offspring sera also persisted for ~1 year and disappeared after ~2 years. Results from the present study suggest that a high titer of active EV71 was able to impair the reproductivity of adult female mice, and that high levels of maternal antibody persisted in the offspring and protected postnatal mice from EV71-induced mortality. The promising antigenicity, immunogenicity and reactogenicity of EV71 suggests that it a potential vaccine target that may be beneficial to the control of HFMD, through immunizing infants and women of reproductive age.

Abstract
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a global health concern. Family Picornaviridae members, particularly enterovirus A71 (EVA71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), are the primary etiological agents of HFMD; however, a third enterovirus A species, CVA6, has been recently associated with epidemic outbreaks. Study of the pathogenesis of CVA6 infection and development of antivirals and vaccines are hindered by a lack of appropriate animal models. We have developed and characterized a murine model of CVA6 infection that was employed to evaluate the antiviral activities of different drugs and the protective efficacies of CVA6-inactivated vaccines. Neonatal mice were susceptible to CVA6 infection via intramuscular inoculation, and the susceptibility of mice to CVA6 infection was age and dose dependent. Five-day-old mice infected with 105.5 50% tissue culture infective doses of the CVA6 WF057R strain consistently exhibited clinical signs, including reduced mobility, lower weight gain, and quadriplegia with significant pathology in the brain, hind limb skeletal muscles, and lungs of the infected mice in the moribund state. Immunohistochemical analysis and quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses showed high viral loads (11 log10/mg) in skeletal muscle, and elevated levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6; >2,000 pg/ml) were associated with severe viral pneumonia and encephalitis. Ribavirin and gamma interferon administered prophylactically diminished CVA6-associated pathology in vivo, and treatment with IL-6 accelerated the death of neonatal mice. Both specific anti-CVA6 serum and maternal antibody play important roles in controlling CVA6 infection and viral replication. Collectively, these findings indicate that this neonatal murine model will be invaluable in future studies to develop CVA6-specific antivirals and vaccines.IMPORTANCE Although coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) infections are commonly mild and self-limiting, a small proportion of children may have serious complications, such as encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, and neurorespiratory syndrome, leading to fatalities. We have established a mouse model of CVA6 infection by inoculation of neonatal mice with a CVA6 clinical isolate that produced consistent pathological outcomes. Here, using this model of CVA6 infection, we found that high levels of IL-6 were associated with severe viral pneumonia and encephalitis, as in an evaluation of antiviral efficacy in vivo, IL-6 had no protective effect and instead accelerated death in neonatal mice. We demonstrated that, as antiviral drugs, both gamma interferon and ribavirin played important protective roles in the early stages of infection, with increased survival in treated neonatal mice challenged with CVA6. Moreover, active and passive immunization with the inactivated vaccines and anti-CVA6 serum also protected mice against homologous challenge infections.

Abstract
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a highly contagious disease that mainly affects infants and children. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) are the major pathogens of HFMD. Two EV71 vaccines were recently licensed in China and the administration of the EV71 vaccines is believed to significantly reduce the number of HFMD-related severe or fatal cases. However, a monovalent EV71 vaccine cannot cross-protect against CA16 infection, this may result in that it cannot effectively control the overall HFMD epidemic. In this study, a chimeric EV71, whose VP1/210-225 epitope was replaced by that of CA16, was constructed using a reverse genetics technique to produce a candidate EV71/CA16 bivalent vaccine strain. The chimeric EV71 was infectious and showed similar growth characteristics as its parental strain. The replacement of the VP1/210-225 epitope did not significantly affect the antigenicity and immunogenicity of EV71. More importantly, the chimeric EV71 could induce protective immunity against both EV71 and CA16, and protect neonatal mice against either EV71 or CA16 lethal infections, the chimeric EV71 constructed in this study was shown to be a feasible and promising candidate bivalent vaccine against both EV71 and CA16. The construction of a chimeric enterovirus also provides an alternative platform for broad-spectrum HFMD vaccines development.

Abstract
Herpangina, usually caused by coxsackie virus A, is prevalent in children spreading through the fecal-oral transmission and the respiratory droplets dissemination. Also, it is mostly asymptomatic and self-limiting. In our study, we found that large outbreak of herpangina in children occurred in the summer of 2015 in Hangzhou, China. From May 1th to August 31th, a total of 10 210 children were diagnosed with herpangina in Children’s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. 2 310 throat swabs were collected and tested for enterovirus detection by real-time RT-PCR, while 1 651 cases were positive with the rate of 71.5%. Based on VP1 gene or 5′UTR region sequences, Coxsackievirus A2, A4, A6, A10, B2, B4 and echovirus 30 were detected in these cases. More importantly, Coxsackievirus A2 may be the major subtype of enterovirus resulting in children with herpangina in hangzhou, China.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) are the predominant pathogens of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Although these viruses exhibit genetic homology, the clinical manifestations caused by the two viruses have some discrepancies. In addition, the underlying mechanisms leading to these differences remain unclear. microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in numerous biological or pathological processes, including host responses to viral infections. Here, we focused on differences in miRNA expression patterns in rhesus monkey peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) infected with EV71 and CA16 at various time points using high-throughput sequencing. The results demonstrated that 106 known and 13 novel miRNAs exhibited significant differences, and 32 key miRNAs among them for target prediction presented opposite trends in the EV71- and CA16-infected samples. GO and pathway analysis of the predicted targets showed enrichment in 14 biological processes, 10 molecular functions, 8 cellular components and 104 pathways. Subsequently, regulatory networks of miRNA-transcription factors, miRNA-predicted targets, miRNA-GOs and miRNA-pathways were constructed to reveal the complex regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs during the infection phase. Ultimately, we analysed hierarchical GO categories of the predicted targets involved in immune system processes, which indicated that the innate and adaptive immunity following EV71 and CA16 infections may be remarkably distinct. In conclusion, this report is the first describing miRNA expression profiles in PBMCs with EV71 and CA16 infections using high-throughput sequencing. Our findings could provide a valuable basis for further studies on the regulatory roles of miRNAs related to the different immune responses caused by EV71 and CA16 infections.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) is an important pathogen causing hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a rapid real-time reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay for detection of CV-A6. The sensitivity of this assay was 202 copies/reaction, with 100 % specificity. Furthermore, this assay yielded consistent results comparable with a commercial qRT-PCR diagnostic kit. This assay is therefore potentially useful for surveillance of CV-A6 infections and outbreak control.

Antiviral Res 2016; 134:50-57.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus A6 (CA6) can induce atypical hand, foot, and mouth disease, which is characterized by severe rash, onychomadesis and a higher rate of infection in adults. Increasing epidemiological data indicated that outbreaks of CA6-associated hand, foot, and mouth disease have markedly increased worldwide in recent years. However, the current body of knowledge on the infection, pathogenic mechanism, and immunogenicity of CA6 is still very limited. In this study, we established the first neonatal mouse model for the evaluation of antibodies and vaccines against CA6. The CA6 strain CA6/141 could infect a one-day-old BALB/c mouse through intraperitoneal and intracerebral routes. The infected mice developed clinical symptoms, such as inactivity, wasting, hind-limb paralysis and even death. Pathological examination indicated that CA6 showed special tropism to skeletal muscles and skin, but not to nervous system or cardiac muscles. Infections with CA6 could induce vesicles in the dermis without a rash in mice, and the CA6 antigen was mainly localized in hair follicles. The strong tropism of CA6 to the skin may be related to its severe clinical features in infants. This mouse model was further applied to evaluate the efficacy of a therapeutic antibody and an experimental vaccine against CA6. A potential mAb 1D5 could fully protect mice from a lethal CA6 infection and also showed good therapeutic effects in the CA6-infected mice. In addition, an inactivated CA6 vaccine was evaluated through maternal immunization and showed 100% protection of neonatal mice from lethal CA6 challenge. Collectively, these results indicate that this infection model will be a useful tool in future studies on vaccines and antiviral reagents against CA6.

Abstract
Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a frequently occurring epidemic and has been an important cause of childhood mortality in China. Given the disease's significant impact nationwide, the epidemiological characteristics and spatio-temporal clusters in Fuyang from 2008 to 2013 were analysed in this study. The disease exhibits strong seasonality with a rising incidence. Of the reported HFMD cases, 63·7% were male and 95·2% were preschool children living at home. The onset of HFMD is age-dependent and exhibits a 12-month periodicity, with 12-, 24- and 36-month-old children being the most frequently affected groups. Across the first 60 months of life, children born in April [relative risk (RR) 8·18], May (RR 9·79) and June (RR 8·21) exhibited an elevated infection risk of HFMD relative to January-born children; the relative risk compared with the reference (January-born) group was highest for children aged 24 months born in May (RR 34·85). Of laboratory-confirmed cases, enterovirus 71 (EV71), coxsackie A16 (Cox A16) and other enteroviruses accounted for 60·1%, 7·1% and 32·8%, respectively. Spatio-temporal analysis identified one most likely cluster and several secondary clusters each year. The centre of the most likely cluster was found in different regions in Fuyang. Implications of our findings for current and future public health interventions are discussed.

Abstract
Enteroviruses (EVs) are the most common viral agents in humans. Although most infections are mild or asymptomatic, there is a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations that may be caused by EV infections with varying degrees of severity. Among these viruses, EV-A71 and coxsackievirus (CV) CV-A16 from group A EVs attract the most attention because they are responsible for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Other EV-A viruses such as CV-A6 and CV-A10 were also reported to cause HFMD outbreaks in several countries or regions. Group B EVs such as CV-B3, CV-B5 and echovirus 30 were reported to be the main pathogens responsible for myocarditis and encephalitis epidemics and were also detected in HFMD patients. Vaccines are the best tools to control infectious diseases. In December 2015, China's Food and Drug Administration approved two inactivated EV-A71 vaccines for preventing severe HFMD.The CV-A16 vaccine and the EV-A71-CV-A16 bivalent vaccine showed substantial efficacy against HFMD in pre-clinical animal models. Previously, research on EV-B group vaccines was mainly focused on CV-B3 vaccine development. Because the HFMD pathogen spectrum has changed, and the threat from EV-B virus-associated severe diseases has gradually increased, it is necessary to develop multivalent HFMD vaccines. This study summarizes the clinical symptoms of diseases caused by EVs, such as HFMD, myocarditis and encephalitis, and the related EV vaccine development progress. In conclusion, developing multivalent EV vaccines should be strongly recommended to prevent HFMD, myocarditis, encephalitis and other severe diseases.

Abstract
Background Recurrence of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) pandemics continues to threaten public health. Despite increasing awareness and efforts, effective vaccine and drug treatment have yet to be available. Probiotics have gained recognition in the field of healthcare worldwide, and have been extensively prescribed to babies and young children to relieve gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances and diseases, associated or not with microbial infections. Since the faecal-oral axis represents the major route of HFMD transmission, transient persistence of probiotic bacteria in the GI tract may confer some protection against HFMD and limit transmission among children. Methods In this work, the antiviral activity of two commercially available probiotics, namely Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis (L. reuteri Protectis) and Lactobacillus casei Shirota (L. casei Shirota), was assayed against Coxsackieviruses and Enterovirus 71 (EV71), the main agents responsible for HFMD. In vitro infection set-ups using human skeletal muscle and colon cell lines were designed to assess the antiviral effect of the probiotic bacteria during entry and post-entry steps of the infection cycle. Results Our findings indicate that L. reuteri Protectis displays a significant dose-dependent antiviral activity against Coxsackievirus type A (CA) strain 6 (CA6), CA16 and EV71, but not against Coxsackievirus type B strain 2. Our data support that the antiviral effect is likely achieved through direct physical interaction between bacteria and virus particles, which impairs virus entry into its mammalian host cell. In contrast, no significant antiviral effect was observed with L. casei Shirota. Conclusions Should the antiviral activity of L. reuteri Protectis observed in vitro be translated in vivo, such probiotics-based therapeutic approach may have the potential to address the urgent need for a safe and effective means to protect against HFMD and limit its transmission among children.

Abstract
Epidemics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) among children have caused concern in China since 2007. We have conducted a retrospective study to investigate risk factors associated with HFMD. In this non-matching case-control study, 99 HFMD patients and 126 control from Guangdong Province were enlisted as participants. Data comprising demographic, socio-economic, clinical and behavior factors were collected from children's parents through face-to-face interviews by trained interviewers using a standardized questionnaire. Results of the primary logistic regression analyses revealed that age, history of cold food consumption, hand-washing routines, and airing out bedding were significantly associated with HFMD cases. Results of further multivariate analysis indicated that older age (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.34-0.56) and hand-washing before meals (OR = 0.3, 95% CI: 0.13-0.70) are protective factors, whereas airing out bedding more than thrice a month (OR = 4.55, 95% CI: 1.19-17.37) was associated with increased risk for HFMD. Therefore, hand-washing should be recommended to prevent HFMD, and the potential threat of airing out bedding should be carefully considered. However, further studies are needed to examine other possible risk factors.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus A6 (CA6) has recently emerged as the predominant pathogen of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), causing significant morbidity in children and adults. The increasing prevalence of CA6 infection and its associated disease burden underscore the need for effective CA6 vaccines. However, CA6 grows poorly in cultured cells, making it difficult to develop inactivated whole-virus or live attenuated vaccines. Here we report the development of a recombinant virus-like particle (VLP) based CA6 vaccine. CA6 VLPs were produced in Pichia pastoris yeast transformed with a vector encoding both P1 and 3CD proteins of CA6. Immunization with CA6 VLPs elicited CA6-specific serum antibodies in mice. Passive transfer of anti-VLP antisera protected recipient mice against lethal CA6 challenge. Collectively, these results demonstrate that CA6 VLPs represent a viable CA6 vaccine candidate which warrants further preclinical and clinical development.

Abstract
Background To report an uncommon case of hand, foot and mouth disease, (HFMD) in an immunocompetent adult; a highly infectious disease, characterized by the appearance of vesicles on the mouth, hands and feet, associated with coxsackieviruses and enteroviruses; including a literature review. Case report A 23 year Caucasian male with no medical or surgical history, no allergies, was not taking any medication and smoked ten cigarettes a day, suffering from discomfort in the oral cavity; itching, burning and pain when swallowing associated with small erythematous lesions located on the hard palate, and small ulcers in tonsillar pillars and right buccal mucosa. Mild fever of 37.8 °C and general malaise. The patient reported he had had contact with a child diagnosed with HFMD. From his background and symptoms, the patient was diagnosed with HFMD. Following symptomatic treatment, the symptoms remitted in 7 days. Methods A literature review in MEDLINE (PubMed). The inclusion criteria were for studies on humans over the last 5 years, using the keywords HFMD. Results We found 925 articles, which were subsequently reduced to 52 documents after applying the inclusion criteria. Maculopapular lesions were found on hands and feet. Conclusions Dentists may have a key role diagnosing the disease. A surveillance system to predict future outbreaks, encourage early diagnosis, put appropriate public health measures in place and research vaccine development is vitally important in order to control the disease.

Abstract
We have established a robust single round infection system of CVB3. A new quantitative assay for measuring NtAb of CVB3 in clinical samples. Seroprevalence of CVB3 in pre-school children is lower than that in adults.
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection has been found to account for an increasing proportion cases of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in recent epidemiology studies. CVB3 is a single stranded, non-enveloped RNA virus and the infection can cause prominent health threat to pre-school children. Here, by taking approaches of reverse genetics, we established a single-round infection system for CVB3. The pseudovirus was produced by sequential transfection of CVB3 capsid expresser plasmid and CVB3 replicon RNA bearing firefly luciferase as a reporter. The CVB3 pseudovirus system was used for quantifying neutralizing antibody (NtAb) levels of 720 human serum samples and showed superior specificity and sensitivity comparing traditional cytopathic effect (CPE) assay. Furthermore, we compared the seroprevalence of CVB3 NtAbs in pre-school children and healthy adults, and found that only 11.94% of pre-school children were NtAbs positive which suggested that most children were naive to CVB3 infection; while there is much higher positive rate in adults (60%) indicating that most adults have experienced CVB3 infection during childhood. This rapid and quantitative assay greatly facilitates evaluating the level of NtAbs against CVB3 in populations and will help to advance CVB3 vaccine development.

[PMID: 26899790 DOI: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2016.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2015] [Revised: 01/28/2016] [Accepted: 02/09/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Childhood exanthema caused by different serotypes of coxsackievirus (CV-A) and enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) has become a serious global health problem; it is commonly known as hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Current EV-A71 vaccine clinical trials have demonstrated that human antibody responses generated by EV-A71 vaccinations do not cross-neutralize coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16). An effective multivalent HFMD vaccine is urgently needed. From molecular epidemiological studies in Southeast Asia, CV-A6 and CV-A10 are commonly found in HFMD outbreaks. In this study, CV-A6 and CV-A10 were individually cultured in rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells grown in medium containing serum, harvested and concentrated. In viral downstream purification, two viral fractions were separated by sucrose gradient zonal ultracentrifugation and detected using a SDS-PAGE analysis and a virus infectivity assay. These two viral fractions were formalin-inactivated, and only the infectious particle fraction was found to be capable of inducing CV-A serotype-specific neutralizing antibody responses in animal immunogenicity studies. These mouse and rabbit antisera also failed to cross-neutralize EV-A71 and CV-A16 infections. Only a combination of formalin-inactivated EV-A71, CV-A6, CV-A10 and CV-A16 multivalent vaccine candidates elicited cross-neutralizing antibody responses in both mouse and rabbit immunogenicity studies. The current results certainly provide important information for multivalent HFMD vaccine development.

Abstract
Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). In a previous phase III trial in children, a human diploid cell-based inactivated EV71 vaccine elicited EV71 specific immune responses and protection against EV71 associated HFMD. This study aimed to assess the factors influencing the severity of adverse events observed in this previous trial. This was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase III clinical trial of a human diploid vaccine carried out in 12,000 children in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01569581). Solicited events were recorded for 7 days and unsolicited events were reported for 28 days after each injection. Age trend analysis of adverse reaction was conducted in each treatment group. Multiple logistic regression models were built to identify factors influencing the severity of adverse reactions. Fewer solicited adverse reactions were observed in older participants within the first 7 days after vaccination (P < 0.0001), except local pain and pruritus. More severe adverse reactions were observed after the initial injection than after the booster injection. Serious cold or respiratory tract infections (RTI) were observed more often in children aged 6-36 months than in older children. Only the severity of local swelling was associated with body mass index. Children with throat discomfort before injection had a higher risk of serious cold or RTI. These results indicated that the human diploid cell-based vaccine achieved a satisfactory safety profile.

Abstract
On December 3rd 2015, the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) approved the first inactivated Enterovirus 71 (EV71) whole virus vaccine for preventing severe hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). As one of the few preventive vaccines for children's infectious diseases generated by the developing countries in recent years, EV71 vaccine is a blessing to children's health in China and worldwide. However, there are still a few challenges facing the worldwide use of EV71 vaccine, including the applicability against various EV71 pandemic strains in other countries, international requirements on vaccine production and quality control, standardization and harmonization on different pathogen monitoring and detecting methods, etc. In addition, the affordability of EV71 vaccine in other countries is a factor to be considered in HFMD prevention. Therefore, with EV71 vaccine commercially available, there is still a long way to go before reaching effective protection against severe HFMD after EV71 vaccines enter the market. In this paper, the bottlenecks and prospects for the wide use of EV71 vaccine after its approval are evaluated.

Abstract
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has recently emerged as a major public health concern across the Asian-Pacific region. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) are the primary causative agents of HFMD, but other members of the Enterovirus A species, including Coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6), can cause disease. The lack of small animal models for these viruses have hampered the development of a licensed HFMD vaccine or antivirals. We have previously reported on the development of a mouse model for EV71 and demonstrated the protective efficacy of an inactivated EV71 vaccine candidate. Here, mouse-adapted strains of CVA16 and CVA6 were produced by sequential passage of the viruses through mice deficient in interferon (IFN) α/β (A129) and α/β and γ (AG129) receptors. Adapted viruses were capable of infecting 3 week-old A129 (CVA6) and 12 week-old AG129 (CVA16) mice. Accordingly, these models were used in active and passive immunization studies to test the efficacy of a trivalent vaccine candidate containing inactivated EV71, CVA16, and CVA6. Full protection from lethal challenge against EV71 and CVA16 was observed in trivalent vaccinated groups. In contrast, monovalent vaccinated groups with non-homologous challenges failed to cross protect. Protection from CVA6 challenge was accomplished through a passive transfer study involving serum raised against the trivalent vaccine. These animal models will be useful for future studies on HFMD related pathogenesis and the efficacy of vaccine candidates.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), as the main agents causing hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), have become a serious public health concern in the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, various neutralizing B cell epitopes of EV71 were identified as targets for promising vaccine candidates. Structural studies of Picornaviridae indicated that potent immunodominant epitopes typically lie in the hypervariable loop of capsid surfaces. However, cross-neutralizing antibodies and cross-protection between EV71 and CVA16 have not been observed. Therefore, we speculated that divergent sequences of the two viruses are key epitopes for inducing protective neutralizing responses. In this study, we selected 10 divergent epitope candidates based on alignment of the EV71 and CVA16 P1 amino acid sequences using the Multalin interface page, and these epitopes are conserved among all subgenotypes of EV71. Simultaneously, by utilizing the norovirus P particle as a novel vaccine delivery carrier, we identified the 71-6 epitope (amino acid 176-190 of VP3) as a conformational neutralizing epitope against EV71 in an in vitro micro-neutralization assay as well as an in vivo protection assay in mice. Altogether, these results indicated that the incorporation of the 71-6 epitope into the norovirus P domain can provide a promising candidate for an effective synthetic peptide-based vaccine against EV71.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is often identified as the primary pathogen that directly leads to severe cases of HFMD, whereas the association between other enteroviruses and EV71 infection remains largely unclear. Here we report a rare case of a 5-year-old boy co-infected with EV71 and vaccine-derived Poliovirus (VDPV) type II, which were identified based on PCR and sequence analysis results and clinical symptoms and were characterized on CT. We determined that the EV71 strain belongs to the C4 subtype, and the VDPV II strain was closely genetically related to the reference Sabin type II strain. This report may improved our understanding of the clinical significance of the associations between clinical signs and the infectious properties of the involved pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) has been strongly associated with enterovirus 71 (EV71), coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) and other enteroviruses, studies regarding coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) infection in HFMD are limited. The aim of this study was to identify the major etiological agents causing HFMD in Nanjing in 2013 and explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of the prevalent enterovirus (EV) types in HFMD. METHODS A total of 394 throat swabs were collected from hospitalized children diagnosed with HFMD from April to July 2013. EVs were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction of 5' UTR sequences. Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis were based on VP4 sequences. Demographic and clinical data were obtained. RESULTS Of the specimens, 68.5% (270/394) were positive for EVs. The genotypes and detection rates were CVA6, 30.00% (81/270); EV71, 17.41% (47/270); HRV, 11.11% (30/270); CVA10, 3.33% (9/270); CVA2, 1.11% (3/270); CVA16, 0.74% (2/270); EV68, 0.37% (1/270); echovirus 6, 0.37% (1/270); echovirus 9, 0.37% (1/270), respectively. Patients infected with CVA6 displayed symptoms atypical of HFMD, including larger vesicles on their limbs and buttocks. Phylogenetic analysis revealed 2 genetically distinct CVA6 strains that circulated independently within the region. Patients infected with CVA6 were more likely to have abnormal periphery blood white blood cell and C-reactive protein levels, while EV71 was more likely to infect the central nervous system, as indicated by clinical manifestations and white blood cell analysis of cerebrospinal fluid. CONCLUSIONS Multiple EV genotypes contributed to HFMD in Nanjing in 2013, and CVA6 was the dominant genotype. The clinical presentation of CVA6 infection differs from that of EV71 infection in HFMD.

Abstract
Epidemics and outbreaks caused by infections of several subgenotypes of EV71 and other serotypes of coxsackie A viruses have raised serious public health concerns in the Asia-Pacific region. These concerns highlight the urgent need to develop a scalable manufacturing platform for producing an effective and sufficient quantity of vaccines against deadly enteroviruses. In this report, we present a platform for the large-scale production of a vaccine based on the inactivated EV71(E59-B4) virus. The viruses were produced in Vero cells in a 200 L bioreactor with serum-free medium, and the viral titer reached 10(7) TCID50/mL 10 days after infection when using an MOI of 10(-4). The EV71 virus particles were harvested and purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Fractions containing viral particles were pooled based on ELISA and SDS-PAGE. TEM was used to characterize the morphologies of the viral particles. To evaluate the cross-protective efficacy of the EV71 vaccine, the pooled antigens were combined with squalene-based adjuvant (AddaVAX) or aluminum phosphate (AlPO4) and tested in human SCARB2 transgenic (Tg) mice. The Tg mice immunized with either the AddaVAX- or AlPO4-adjuvanted EV71 vaccine were fully protected from challenges by the subgenotype C2 and C4 viruses, and surviving animals did not show any degree of neurological paralysis symptoms or muscle damage. Vaccine treatments significantly reduced virus antigen presented in the central nervous system of Tg mice and alleviated the virus-associated inflammatory response. These results strongly suggest that this preparation results in an efficacious vaccine and that the microcarrier/bioreactor platform offers a superior alternative to the previously described roller-bottle system.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is a common cause of viral rash in children with classic skin findings which are easily recognized by pediatricians. Recently, several atypical cutaneous manifestations of HFMD have been described. Awareness of these patterns may lead providers to appropriate diagnosis and management. This review also highlights the epidemiological patterns of more virulent strains and emerging research in disease prevention. RECENT FINDINGS Classic HFMD presents with tender lesions on the hands, feet, and oral mucosa. Atypical skin findings in HFMD may be seen in children with atopic dermatitis. These include 'eczema coxsackium', in which eczematous skin is superinfected with coxsackie virus, resembling herpes infection. Nail changes, such as shedding, may follow HFMD after a latency period. Enterovirus 71 is responsible for epidemic outbreaks of HFMD in Asia, with systemic manifestations and occasionally neurological sequelae. Research is underway to develop a vaccine which could curb epidemics, but for the present, supportive care and hygiene measures are the standard of care. SUMMARY Atypical manifestations of HFMD in children with atopic dermatitis may mimic herpetic superinfection. In a child presenting with nail changes, consider antecedent HFMD in the differential diagnosis. The mainstay of treatment for HMFD remains supportive care.
