Enteroviruses are a group of viruses that belong to the Picornaviridae family. They are small, non-enveloped, RNA viruses that cause various types of illnesses, ranging from mild to severe. Common types of enteroviruses include polioviruses, coxsackieviruses, echoviruses, and enteroviruses A, B, C, and D. These viruses are often transmitted via the fecal-oral route but can also spread through respiratory droplets and contact with contaminated surfaces.
