The National Enterovirus Surveillance System (NESS) is a passive, voluntary surveillance system that monitors laboratory detections of enteroviruses and human parechoviruses in the United States. Participating laboratories are encouraged to report basic data, including serotype, on specimens. Since the 1960s, public health practitioners, researchers, and clinicians have used NESS data to determine patterns in the circulation of individual enterovirus and parechovirus types.
Most Common Enteroviruses Reported in the U.S., 2009-2013
