How are enteroviruses transmitted?

Answer 1

These viruses live in the gastrointestinal tract, and are therefore present in feces. They can be spread easily from one person to another when poor hygiene allows the virus within the feces to be passed

Enterovirus D68 mainly causes respiratory symptoms. Children tend to be more affected than adults.
You catch enterovirus D68 the same way you catch a run-of-the-mill cold: by coming into contact with someone who's infected, especially if that person coughs or sneezes on you, or if you touch an infected surface.
