This is the first report of Enterovirus A119 detection in a human with a clinical condition (Acute Flaccid Paralysis), suggesting a potential pathogenic role.
The oldest EV-A119 record was in 2008 in a chimpanzee in Cameroon and subsequently in more non-human primates and healthy children. Here we report for the first time the detection of EV-A119 in a child with Acute Flaccid Paralysis, thus suggesting possible association with a clinical condition in humans.
