The enteroviruses are a genus of (+)ssRNA viruses associated with several human and mammalian diseases. Historically the most significant has been the Poliovirus (which is now nearly extinct). Coxsackie viruses (a non-phylogenic group) are associated with human hand, foot and mouth disease. Echoviruses are a cause of many of the non-specific viral infections. It is majorily found in the intestine, and can cause nervous disorders.
