Coxsackievirus A24 variant whole genome sequencing from clinical samples using a three overlapping amplicons strategy
2025-06-10
Abstract excerpt
In January 2024, the Kenya Ministry of Health issued an outbreak alert following a surge in acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) cases along the Kenyan coast. Our investigations identified coxsackievirus A24 variant (CA24v) as the causative agent. In this study, we developed a whole genome sequencing assay for CA24v, and used it to recover three near complete genomes from the 2024 AHC outbreak in Kenya. This ass...
