The study found geographic variation in Enterovirus (EV) types, particularly EV-Cs, in stool samples from Acute Flaccid Paralysis cases in Nigeria that were negative by RD-L20B cell culture.

The paper isolates and identifies enteroviruses from sewage samples in Ibadan, Nigeria, finding multiple EV types and demonstrating the value of using diverse cell lines for isolation.

This study shows that Echovirus 29 may require up to 14 days in RD cell culture to develop cytopathology, suggesting current detection methods may miss some non-polio enteroviruses.

The study assesses CD4 T lymphocyte levels in hepatitis-negative individuals in Nigeria and finds higher mean counts than national reference values, with significant age-related variation.

This study compares cell culture-dependent and independent methods for detecting enteroviruses in stool samples from children with Acute Flaccid Paralysis, finding both methods bias diversity perception.

This study examines HEV IgM prevalence in pregnant women and community dwellers in Nigeria, finding low prevalence with one positive case in a third-trimester pregnant woman.

This study shows that nonpolio enteroviruses (NPEVs) can be present in cell culture samples with non-reproducible cytopathology, challenging the assumption that such cases are negative for NPEVs.

The study detects and identifies enteroviruses in captive nonhuman primates in Nigeria, reporting the first detection of EV-A76 in a chimpanzee.

This study uses RT-snPCR to detect enteroviruses in AFP samples negative by RD-L20B, finding 50% of samples positive, with EV-C being predominant.

This paper extends the WHO recommended RT-snPCR assay to detect all three poliovirus types, including co-infections, using modified primers and first-round PCR products.
