Epidemiological, etiological, and serological characteristics of hand, foot, and mouth disease in Guizhou Province, Southwest China, from 2008 to 2023
This results indicate differences in the incidence of major HFMD pathogens across years, regions, and populations. Other EVs, predominantly CV-A6, have become the main pathogens causing HFMD since 2019. CV-A6, CV-A10, CV-A16, and EV-A71 exhibited relatively high seroprevalence rates. Currently, there is an urgent need to develop multivalent vaccines and implement effective measures to reduce incidence of HFMD.
