Research ArticleIsolation and Complete Capsid Sequence of Enterovirus D111 from Faeces of a Child with Acute Flaccid Paralysis in Nigeria
Faleye Temitope Oluwasegun Cephas, Adewumi Moses Olubusuyi, Olayinka Olaitan Titilola, Adeniji Johnson Adekunle
The WHO recommended cell-culture-based algorithm requires enterovirus (EV) isolates to produce reproducible cytopathic effect (R-CPE) in RD and/or L20b cell lines. Samples with non-reproducible CPE (NR-CPE) are considered negative for EVs. We investigated whet…
