“…On the other hand, among healthy infants and AFP patients in African countries, a wide circulation of several CV types and lineages from EV-C species was found, especially CVA13, demonstrating a significant intratypic diversity ( Sadeuh-Mba et al, 2013 ). Apart from CVA13, studies have also reported high detection rates of CVA11, CVA17, CVA20, CVA21, and CVA24 in these countries, in contrast to prevalent types in Europe, America, and Asia ( Couderé et al, 2023 ; Rakoto-Andrianarivelo et al, 2005 ; Silva et al, 2008 ). Interestingly, enterovirus C circulating strains may favor the emergence of recombinant cVDPVs in areas where OPVs are massively used.…”
