Genetic diversity of the enteroviruses detected from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of patients with suspected aseptic meningitis in northern West Bank, Palestine in 2017.

Background: Human enterovirus genus showed a wide range of genetic diversity.

Objectives: To investigate the genetic diversity of the enteroviruses isolated in 2017 in northern West Bank, Palestine.

Study Design: 249 CSF samples from aseptic meningitis cases were investigated for HEV using two RT-PCR protocols targeting the 5' NCR and the VP1 region of the HEV genome.
