Abstrakt: We report the presence of Echovirus 11 (E11) in wastewater in Sicily (Southern Italy), since August 2022. Overall, the 5.4 % of sewage samples (7/130) collected in 2022 were positives for E11 and then the percentage of E11-positive sewage samples reached the value of 27.27(18/66) in the first semester of 2023. Phylogenetic analysis of VP1 sequences showed for most E11-positive samples (16/25: 64 %) close genetic correlation (98.4-99.4 % nucleotide identity) to E11 lineage 1 strains involved in recently reported severe neonatal infections.
