Research topics from publications: Epidemiology of hand, foot, and mouth disease and the genetic characteristics of Coxsackievirus A16 in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China from 2010 to 2021; An epidemiologic surveillance study based on wastewater and respiratory specimens reveals influenza a virus prevalence and mutations in Taiyuan, China during 2023–2024; Epidemiology of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and Genetic Evolutionary Characteristics of Coxsackievirus A10 in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province from 2016 to 2020; Characteristics of Subtype and Molecular Transmission Networks among Newly Diagnosed HIV-1 Infections in Patients Residing in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, China, from 2021 to 2023. Representative work: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood infectious disease caused by human enteroviruses (EV). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological features of HFMD and the genetic characteristics of Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, from 2010 to 2021. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the time and population distribution of HFMD and the genetic characteristics of CVA16. Except being affected by the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, HFMD epidemics were sporadic from January to March each year, and began to increase in April, with a major epidemic peak from May to August, which declined in September, followed by a secondary peak from October BACKGROUND: Influenza is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Influenza A virus (IAV) is one of the most important pathogens causing influenza and often causes global pandemics due to its tendency to mutate. We aim to use epidemiology based on wastewater and respiratory specimens to understand the occurrence of influenza A virus infections in Taiyuan City. METHODS: A retrospective epidemiology surveillance was carried out at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University (FHSMU) and five wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) in Taiyuan city from 2023 to 2024. Reverse transcription real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect influenza A viruse
