Overview

Unlike other enteroviruses, enterovirus 68 (EV-68) causes respiratory disease. Its cellular tropism, optimal growth at lower temperatures, and acid-lability are responsible for infection of cells in the respiratory mucosa and leukocytes. The virus is able to replicate inside leukocytes, which allows it to infect the parenchymal tissue; to increase its viral load, spreading to other regions; and to activate endothelial cells that attract more leukocytes to the infection site. Although viral transmission is not fully understood, the virus can be found in respiratory secretions and may be spread from person to person, when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or touches contaminated surfaces.

Pathogenesis

EV-68 belongs to the Human Enterovirus D species (HEV-D), along with EV-70 and EV-94. Unlike the remaining enteroviruses in its class, EV-68 is acid-labile, which reduces its ability to colonize the gastrointestinal mucosa. It has been implicated in respiratory infections and in very rare occasions in CNS disease. This property of EV-68 sets it apart from other enteroviruses.[1]

The virus shows optimal growth at lower temperatures, making the respiratory tract an adequate host for viral replication. Besides the cells of the respiratory mucosa, EV-68 also shows tropism for leukocytes. The virus binds receptors on the lymphocyte surface containing sialic-acid in order to access the cytoplasm.[2] Since leukocytes are capable of migrating to other tissues, by infecting these cells, the virus gains access to secondary sites.[1] Viral replication inside leukocytes limits their function, thereby facilitating viral replication and spread.[3]

EV-68 also replicates inside endothelial cells that provide the required increase in viral load for the virus to infect parenchymal tissue, and gain access to secondary sites.[3] The virus also promotes the activation of endothelial cells leading to chemoattraction of further leukocytes.

However, EV-68 shows less tropism for endothelial cells than EV-70 or EV-94, which makes infection of secondary sites less common.[1]

Immune Response

The immune response towards EV-68 is not fully understood. Viral clearance is achieved by an adequate T and B-cell response that contain and eliminate the virus. B lymphocytes, along with tissue macrophages contain the pathogen, while T lymphocytes penetrate the areas of infection, causing tissue damage. Tissue damage may lead to cell death of the affected areas.[4]

Transmission

Given its acid-lability, EV-68 is not shed in feces like other enteroviruses. Transmission of EV-68 is not as well-understood as that of other enteroviruses. EV-D68 causes respiratory disease, and the virus can be found in respiratory secretions such as saliva, nasal mucus, or sputum. The virus likely spreads from person to person via respiratory aerosols.[5] Transmission of the virus is noted to occur more frequently between the months of August and November.[6]
