Funded Activity Summary

Human enteroviruses (HEVs) are common human pathogens associated with a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from asymptomatic infection to serious illness, especially in infants and the immunocompromised. They are responsible for large outbreaks of diseases. We will develop rapid molecular typing methods for enteroviruses, including reverse line blot hybridization and rolling circle amplification. Meanwhile, we will analyze molecular evolution of important enteroviruses over time.
