Since the identification of the poliovirus in 1908, over a hundred serotypes of enteroviruses have been discovered, capable of causing a range of diseases including hand, foot, and mouth disease, newborn sepsislike syndrome, aseptic meningitis, acute flaccid paralysis, respiratory disorders, and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. In recent years, enteroviruses such as EV-A71 and EV-D68 have exhibited globalized periodic outbreaks, emerging as a significant and indisputable challenge in the field of public health. However, the current preventive and control measures for enteroviruses remain notably limited, necessitating a pressing need to delve deeper into the molecular mechanisms responsible for enteroviral pathogenesis. This will facilitate the development of novel targets and methodologies for the creation of effective, safe, and broad-spectrum antiviral drugs. This comprehensive review focuses on the classification, epidemiology, structure, life cycle, interplay between viral proteins and host factors, pathogenic mechanisms, clinical treatments, and the establishment and application of animal infection models relevant to enteric viruses. The aim is to serve as a theoretical referential basis for the prevention and control of enteroviruses, offering novel perspectives for the development of drugs and the establishment of a vaccine repository dedicated to combating enteroviruses.
