Abstract

Enteroviruses infect humans and animals, can cause disease, and some may be transmitted across species barriers. We tested Central African wildlife and found Enterovirus RNA in primates (17) and rodents (2). Some sequences were very similar, while others were dissimilar to known species, highlighting the underexplored enterovirus diversity in wildlife.
