INTRODUCTION: Globally, rotavirus infections are the most common cause of diarrhea-related deaths, especially among children under 5 years of age. This virus can be transmitted through the fecal-oral route, though zoonotic and environmental contributions to transmission are poorly defined. The purpose of this study is to determine the epidemiology of rotavirus in humans, animals, and the environment in Africa, as well as the impact of vaccination.
METHODS: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Africa Index Medicus, and African Journal Online, identifying 240 prevalence data points from 224 articles between 2009 and 2022.
RESULTS: Human rotavirus prevalence among patients with gastroenteritis was 29.8% (95% CI, 28.1-31.5; 238710 participants), with similar estimates in children under 5 years of age, and an estimated case fatality rate of 1.2% (95% CI, 0.7-2.0; 10440 participants). Prevalence was estimated to be 15.4% and 6.1% in patients with non-gastroenteritis illnesses and apparently healthy individuals, respectively. Among animals, prevalence was 9.3% (95% CI, 5.7-13.7; 6115 animals), and in the environmental water sources, prevalence was 31.4% (95% CI, 17.7-46.9; 2530 samples).
DISCUSSION: Our findings highlight the significant burden of rotavirus infection in Africa, and underscore the need for a One Health approach to limiting the spread of this disease.
