Echovirus 9 (also known as E-9, E.C.H.O. 9, and formerly Coxsackie A23 or A23 virus)coxsackie A virus, A23. It was later discovered that A23 was an echovirus antigenically identical to the already-known echovirus 9.[2]
Echovirus 9 is the most common enterovirus type.[3] It is a common cause of illness in humans, although unlike many enteroviruses, it rarely infects infants.[3] Its transmission is facilitated by crowded conditions. Those who are slightly ill and children are at particular risk of contracting echovirus 9 (A23).[4]
