Abstract excerpt
Enteroviruses (EVs) often infect humans, presenting as endemic or epidemic infections. In this study, the diversity of infecting EVs was studied among 146 children and 137 adults in a small community in Cameroon. The participants provided 2,458 fecal samples during 1-year monthly collection; 10 or more samples were obtained from 55%. Partial 5'UTR-VP4 region could be sequenced in 393/547 PCR positive samples...
