Comparison of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) seroprevalence in the United Kingdom in 2006 and 2016. A) Seroreactivity to EV-D68 of samples collected in 2006 and 2016 from different age categories. Results are expressed as percentage of samples displaying neutralizing antibody titers <8 or >1,024 (histogram) and geometric mean titers (red line). We performed the Kruskall-Wallace nonparametric test to evaluate differences in titer distributions between samples collected at the 2 points in each ban

We performed the Kruskal-Wallace nonparametric test to evaluate differences in titer distributions between samples collected at the 2 points in each band (red text indicates p<0.05). B) Seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies to EV-D68 in different age categories in 2006 (red) and 2016 (blue). Error bars show SEs of the proportions.
