  • The numbers in each row in each column represent the number of episodes from which the VP1 gene from strains belonging to the particular EV serotype was sequenced. Strains indicated in parenthesis in italic font refer to sequential infections by more than one NPEV serotype or agent in that order and those in normal font refer to monotypic infections. Strains from all the IFoBM-ND and asymptomatic NPEV infection episodes were not examined. Numbers in italic font in the bottom row include some sequentially collected samples during persistent episodes indicating representation of some episodes more than once, and the numbers in parenthesis in normal font in the bottom row indicate actual number of PIFoBM-ND episodes analysed. In the second column, numbers in normal and italic fonts represent samples from acute and persistent diarrhoeal episodes, respectively.
