Abstract

Wastewater surveillance allowed the detection of an enterovirus (EV) type rarely reported in clinical settings. We detected an EV-C116 strain in a wastewater sample in France and characterized its complete genome. This virus was genetically closely related to African strains but distantly related to the only complete genome previously described.
