In respond to acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in association with Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infection, Taiwan Centers for Disease Control began to screen EV-D68 infection among each AFP patient since July 2015 and detected the first case in August 2016. This article updated the molecular epidemiology trends of EV-D68 from the national surveillance data.

This study showed that HPeVs have been endemic in Taiwan for some years despite a low positive rate. The detection tests of HPeVs are needed to correct a diagnostic deficit in the surveillance system. The epidemiological and genetic information obtained from the present study would contribute to the understanding of the etiology and epidemiology of HPeVs.

e93 (6.3%), and body piercing or body tattoo etc. (5.6%) are the possible ways of transmission. Conclusion: Reported acute hepatitis B incidence has declined by 88.3% between people whose birth years were during 1974-1983 and 1984-1993 (p < 0.001). The universal Hepatitis B immunization program did protect people from HBV infection.
