The new variant of E11 was identified in children in Southern Italy. Although the cases were mild, the data suggest that transmission routes and host factors are likely to be main drivers for the development of potentially severe diseases. Systematic epidemiological/molecular surveillance will help us better understand the clinical impact of EV infections and develop preventive strategies.
