Human astrovirus draft genomes from under-five children presenting with gastroenteritis in Malawi from 2012 to 2024

Abstract

Human astroviruses (HAstVs) account for 2% to 9% of gastroenteritis cases in children and are occasionally associated with central nervous system complications. We report six draft HAstV genomes from Malawian children <5 years old with gastroenteritis, providing baseline information for the understanding of HAstV diversity and disease burden in sub-Saharan Africa.
