1This list was compiled from http://www.picornaviridae.com/enterovirus/enterovirus.htm, which should be consulted for further information

2found also in non-human primates

3Enterovirus numbering up to 120 is interleaved, with types numbered sequentially irrespective of their species assignment (e.g., EV-D68, EV-B69, EV-D70 and EV-A71 etc.). Beyond 120, numbering is non-interleaved, with EV-A121 and future assignments of EV-B121, EV-C121 etc. representing different types

4Previous names of non-human primate enteroviruses are in parentheses

5Rhinovirus numbering for members of the species Rhinovirus A and Rhinovirus B is interleaved (see footnote 3), but non-interleaved after 100, so that RV-A101 and RV-B101 are separate types

6Numbering for members of the species Rhinovirus C has always been non-interleaved, with current type assignments 1 to 57 representing different types from those numbered 1-57 in the species Rhinovirus A and Rhinovirus B
