TL;DR: It is shown that emergence of strains with different antigenicity is the possible reason for the increased detection of EV68 in recent years, and EV68 preferably binds to α2-6 SAs, which suggests that EV68 might have affinity for the upper respiratory tract.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global reemergence of enterovirus D68 as an important pathogen for acute respiratory infections
