Enterovirus Sequence Data Obtained from Primate Samples in Central Africa Suggest a High Prevalence of Enteroviruses

Enteroviruses infect humans and animals and can cause disease, and some may be transmitted across species barriers. We tested Central African wildlife and found RNA in primates (17) and rodents (2). Some sequences were very similar, while others were dissimilar to known species, highlighting the und...

Zusammenfassung:Enteroviruses infect humans and animals and can cause disease, and some may be transmitted across species barriers. We tested Central African wildlife and found RNA in primates (17) and rodents (2). Some sequences were very similar, while others were dissimilar to known species, highlighting the underexplored enterovirus diversity in wildlife.
