- Enteroviruses (EV) and parechoviruses A (PeV-A) can cause severe illnesses, but surveillance in sub-Saharan Africa has been limited and shows varying infection rates and genotypes.
- This study is the first to analyze EV and PeV-A circulation specifically in children from South Sudan, finding 35% positive for EV and 10% for PeV-A in fecal samples.
- The research highlighted the dominance of Coxsackie virus A (CVA) types, especially CVA13, and identified several new and diverse genotypes, underscoring the need for more comprehensive surveillance of these viruses in the region.
