Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the presence and genetic diversity of Human Parechoviruses (HPeVs) in 200 children under 15 with Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) in Cameroon from 2018 to 2019.
- - HPeV RNA was found in 11% of the stool samples, with specific genotypes (A1, A4, A5, A10, A14, A15, A17, and A18) identified through advanced genetic sequencing.
- - Results indicated significant genetic variability among the HPeVs detected, suggesting multiple genotypes circulate in Cameroon without associated outbreaks.
Introduction: Poliovirus (PV) and non-polio enteroviruses (NPEV) belong to the Picornaviridae family. They are found worldwide and are responsible for a wide range of diseases such as acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). This study aimed to evaluate the detection rate of PV and NPEV in stool samples from children under fifteen years of age presenting with AFP in Cameroon and their distribution over time.
