Why the study?
Viral gastroenteritis is a major public health problem in infants and children worldwide, with the highest morbidity and mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa, prompting an assessment of the burden and genetic diversity of enteric viruses.
A high prevalence and genetic diversity of enteric viruses were found in under-five children with diarrhea in Northwest Ethiopia, highlighting the need for broader surveillance.
