IntroductionEnteroviruses (EVs) are recognized as potential causative agents of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of EV infection in children admitted to hospitals with AGE in Chiang Mai, Thailand from 2019 to 2022.MethodsA total of 1,148 fecal samples collected from patients with AGE were screened for the presence of EV using RT-PCR. The prevalence, co-infection with common diarrheal viruses, and seasonal pattern of EV were examined. The genotypes of EV were identified based on the VP1 sequence and phylogenetic analysis.ResultsThe overall prevalence of EV in AGE patients was 8.8% (101/1,148). After the COVID-19 outbreak in 2019, a significant decrease in the EV infection rate and genotype diversity was observed (p |
