Abstract

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of enteric viruses causing gastroenteritis, and the circulating stains, in Gabonese children under five years old who visited health centers between March 2010 and June 2011. Stool specimens were collected and sent for analysis to CIRMF (Centre International de Recherches Médicales de Franceville). Stools were screened for six enteric viruses (rotavirus, adenovirus, norovirus I and II, sapovirus, human astrovirus) by means of a multiplex real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and Rotavirus A, Adenovirus and Astrovirus were genotyped. Among the 317 specimens analyzed, 193 (60.9%) were positive for at least one enteric virus. Rotavirus A (RVA) (27.1%) was the most frequently detected virus, followed by human Adenovirus (HAdV) (19.6%), Norovirus II (NoVs-II) (13.9%), Norovirus I (NoVs-I) (9.1%), Sapovirus (SaV) (9.5%) and human Astrovirus (HAstV) (6.3%). One-third of the 193 positive samples contained more than one virus. The most common Rotavirus A genotype was G6P[6]. Various HAdV serotypes were found. HAstV-1 was identified. These findings improve our knowledge of circulating enteric viruses in Gabon. The emergence of unusual G6P[6] strain of rotavirus A, predomin...Continue Reading
