Abstract

The figure accompanying the article on echovirus 30 in issue 37 of Eurosurveillance Weekly showed all echoviruses reported in England and Wales in 1995-2001. The figure below shows the laboratory reports of echovirus 30 in England and Wales in periods of four weeks from 1996 to the present. It can be seen that echo 30 caused a smaller outbreak in the autumn of last year than this year, but that the number of reports did not reach baseline through the winter period.
