Multispecies Cocirculation of Adenoviruses Identified by Next-Generation Sequencing During an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak in Coastal Kenya in 2023
Our study shows the enormous diversity and clinical characteristics of HAdV species in children with diarrhea in coastal Kenya. These data offer an opportunity to improve current diagnostic assays and increase knowledge of HAdV in Africa for control of outbreaks in the future.
