    Abstract Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) usually cause asymptomatic or mild infection, but infrequently, they are responsible for various severe syndromes including neurological disorders. Various research studies have investigated the association of HAdVs with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of HAdVs and their association with AFP. Stool samples from patients ≤ 12 years of age with suspected AFP were collected from all over Pakistan within the framework of poliovirus surveillance. Poliovirus- and enterovirus-negative samples were screened for HAdVs. For virus isolation, the human epithelial cell line HEp-2c was used, culture-positive samples were screened by nested PCR assay, and partial hexon gene sequences were used for genotype identification. Out of 172 samples, 94 were positive by virus isolation, 89 were positive by PCR, and 32 isolates were genotyped successfully. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the HAdVs belonged to species A (HAdV-A12 and A31), B (HAdV-B3 and B7), C (HAdV-C1 and C6), D (HAdV-D19 and D93), and F (HAdV-F41), showing 99-100% nucleotide sequence identity and 98.3-100% amino acid sequence identity). Most of these genotypes have been reported previously in AFP cases, but this is the first report of the detection of HAdV-D93 in stool samples from AFP cases. The detection of a significant fraction of the HAdVs genotypes indicates that these genetically distinct genotypes are circulating in Pakistan and suggests their possible role in the pathogenesis of AFP.
