AB The  viruses  described  in  this  chapter  are  transmitted  by  the  fecal–oral  route  and  enter  the  body  via  the  enteric  tract.  Some,  such  as  norovirus  and  rotavirus,  cause  diarrheal  disease,  whereas  others,  such  as  poliovirus,  Coxsackie  virus,  echovirus,  and  enterovirus  (EV)  68,  70,  and  71  cause  disease  primarily  outside  the  enteric  tract.  Polio,  Coxsackie,  and  echoviruses  are  well-known  causes  of  central  nervous  system  disease,  such  as  meningitis  and  encephalitis.  Coxsackie  virus  also  causes  hand,  foot,  and  mouth  disease  and  myocarditis.  EV  D68  is  suspected  of  causing  acute  flaccid  myelitis.
