Molecular surveillance of Cytomegalovirus strains in maternal and fetal health within Bauchi metropolis Nigeria
The CMV gB, gL, and gN strains are endemic to the Bauchi metropolis. The gB strain with the highest occurrence rate was likely more infectious than the other strains were, whereas the gL strain confirmed previous reports linking it with a common strain during pregnancy. Therefore, the gB and gL strains are likely threats to maternal and fetal health.
