Abstract Background The enteric subgroup F adenoviruses type 40 Ad40 and 4 1 Ad41 are the second most important cause of acute infantile gastroenteritis after rotaviruses. Repeated community outbreaks have been associated with antigenic changes among the Ad40 and Ad41 strains due to host immune pressure. Therefore large field epidemiological surveys and studies on the genetic variations in different isolates of Ad40 and Ad41 are important for disease control programs the design of efficient diagnostic kits and vaccines against subgroup F adenoviruses. A novel method using sodium dodecyl sulphate SDS EDTA-pretreated chromatography paper strips was evaluated for the collection storage and shipping of Ad40 41 contaminated stool samples. Results This study shows that .
