Enterovirus causes mild to severe diseases in all over world. It is very serious public health problem more or less in the world. Enteroviruses surveillance systems are scarce in densely populated cities in India. Enteroviruses can be shed in feces for several weeks; these viruses are not effortlessly inactivated and may perhaps persist in sewage for extensive periods. Acute flaccid paralysis suspected 401 clinical and 109 sewage samples were collected during July 2007 to September 2009; tissue culture method was used for isolation of virus and serotype confirmed by Enterovirus neutralization test. A total 98 clinical and 44 sewage samples were Enterovirus positive. In sequencing, few Untyped, were identified as echovirus 9, 11, 25 and 30 which may be mixture as they remained Untyped in neutralization. The confined Enterovirus season began from July and crest activity generally arises in September. During each epoch, numerous clinical enteroviruses serotypes were detected, among them three or four serotypes were predominating. There is a smashing concordance among the serotypes of enteroviruses shed in stools and isolates from the environment.
