“…However, this rotavirus positivity dropped in the other months of the year to about 1%. Other studies have identified peaks of rotavirus gastroenteritis during the same period of the year in other tropical countries [17] [34] [35]. We did not observe similar marked seasonal distribution of infection among adenovirus positive cases.…”

“…Rotavirus infections in 2016 occurred throughout the year, with the highest peak being in June, 52% (cool dry month), September and October (hot dry months) 57% and 52% respectively. These ndings are consistent with the ndings documented in a study conducted in Nigeria where they had a marked seasonal peak, with more than 90% of rotavirus infections occurring during December to March, their cool dry months [21]. Similar results were documented from a study conducted by Mwenda and colleagues who showed that rotavirus infections occurred throughout the year in other African countries (Uganda, Ghana, and Ethiopia), with a peak prevalence generally being recorded during the cool dry months of the year [22].…”

Another study in Enugu, Nigeria also reported this observed strong seasonal transmission with more than 90% of cases occurring between December and March over the six-year study period [44]. Similarly, in Ouagadougou (the capital of Burkina Faso), approximately 72% of acute gastroenteritis cases among children aged <5 years were rotavirus-positive during the dry season (November to May) relative to 6% rotavirus-positive during the wet season (June to October) [45].…”
