Molecular Prevalence of Human Astrovirus Among Children Under Five Years of Age With Gastroenteritis in Ilorin Metropolis, North‐Central Nigeria: A Cross‐Sectional Study [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims Human astrovirus (HAstV) is a recognized cause of viral gastroenteritis, however, data from north‐central Nigeria remain limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of classic HAstV RNA and explore associated factors among children under 5 years presenting with gastroenteritis in Ilorin, Nigeria.
