Abstract excerpt

Several African countries experienced a surge in acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) cases in 2024. Investigations in Kenya, Mayotte (an Indian Ocean island) and Tanzania identified coxsackievirus A24 variant (CVA24v) as the causative agent. To date, however, limited genomic data exist to elucidate the sources, epidemiology, and evolution of CVA24v in Africa. We generated 245 CVA24v genomes from samples...
