Recently I've heard from collaborators in the US & Europe that #Enterovirus #D68 #EVD68 cases are on the rise.
EV-D68 is what I worked on pre-pandemic, & hope to go back to.
A significant autumn 2022 wave has been a recent concern.
So what is D68 & what might this mean?

#EVD68 is a Picornavirus - a diverse family of viruses. And Enteroviruses are pretty diverse themselves: from Poliovirus, which can cause serious neurological illness, to Rhinovirus - what's behind the common cold 🤧 (and even more in between).

One of the most notable things about #EVD68 is that in Europe & North America it's historically had biennial autumn outbreaks: in 2014, 2016, & 2018. Also predicted in 2020... but that didn't happen due to pandemic!
Following that pattern, 2022 would be an outbreak season🗓️
