Key result
Enterovirus RNA was detected in 10% of wild ape stool samples, demonstrating the circulation of genetically divergent enterovirus variants in apes that overlap with local human populations.
Observational (n=139)
The study demonstrates the circulation of genetically divergent enterovirus variants in wild apes, including strains shared with local human populations.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change clinical practice; leaves open zoonotic risk of ape-derived enteroviruses to humans.
Harvala et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Enterovirus infection (n=139). Enterovirus screening was evaluated on Enterovirus RNA detection rate. Enterovirus RNA was detected in 10% of wild ape stool samples, demonstrating the circulation of genetically divergent enterovirus variants in apes that overlap with local human populations.
