Investigations in Kenya, Mayotte (an Indian Ocean island) and Tanzania identified coxsackievirus A24 variant (CVA24v) as the causative agent. To date, however, limited genomic data exist to elucidate the sources, epidemiology, and evolution of CVA24v in Africa. We generated 245 CVA24v genomes from samples collected between January and September 2024 in coastal Kenya, representing the largest outbreak CVA24v genomic data set available globally. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these viruses belonged to genotype IV, falling into two major clusters that differed by 52 nucleotide and five amino acid changes, and with an intra-species recombination event involving another enterovirus in the 3D\n                    <jats:sup>\n                      <jats:italic>pol<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:sup>\n                    gene. Notably, the Kenyan sequences clustered closely with contemporaneous Africa (2024) sequences, specifically Mayotte and Malawi, reflecting a regionally connected CVA24v outbreak, but were distinct from those sampled previously in Asia in 2023, with phylodynamic analysis revealing that the Most Recent Common Ancestor of Kenyan sequences existed between June and October 2023. In summary, this study provides the first detailed genomic analysis of CVA24v from Africa to inform future surveillance and control strategies.\n
