Near-complete genome sequence of human astrovirus recovered from a child with acute flaccid paralysis in Guinea, 2021.

Astroviruses are common causes of gastroenteritis in humans and other animals. Herein, we reported a near-complete human astrovirus (HAstV) sequence detected in a child with acute flaccid paralysis. The sample was collected in Guinea in January 2021. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that this virus belonged to the HAstV-1 genotype.
