Viral aetiology, prevalence and diversity data in people with influenza like illness (ILI) and/or acute respiratory illness (ARI) in Africa, (especially in West Africa), are scarce and often limited to the influenza viruses' infection. For example in the United States alone, up to 40% of non-pneumonic lower respiratory illnesses in the elderly have been associated with respiratory viral infection [10] , and an estimated 54,000 deaths annually have been attributed to the influenza and respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV) [11] . The present study is the first description of the etiology of respiratory viruses associated with patients with ILI in a cohort of elderly people in the West African context.	./cache/cord-288372-48wao8a0.txt	./txt/cord-288372-48wao8a0.txt
