Population

3195 stool samples from children with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) collected through routine poliomyelitis surveillance activities between 2013 and 2014 in seven West African countries

Outcome

Genetic diversity, frequency, circulation patterns, and molecular epidemiology of non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs)

The study demonstrates extensive diversity of non-polio enteroviruses in West African children with acute flaccid paralysis, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring strategies.
