A report in Eurosurveillance Weekly in September 2001 discussed the concurrent increases in the incidence of echovirus 30 in Germany and the United Kingdom in 2001 (1). Outbreaks of echovirus 13 infection had also occurred in both England and Wales, and Germany, in 2000. Other European countries informed the Eurosurveillance team that they had experienced similar outbreaks, and it was decided to conduct a small study through Eurosurveillance of echovirus incidence in European and other countries.
