Abstract
Hand, foot and mouth disease, caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infection, is common in children in China. Here, the authors estimate EV-A71 incidence and seroprevalence using data from two longitudinal cohorts and find that, despite high infection rates, a large proportion of children under 6 are susceptible.
