Rotavirus G5P[6] in Child with Diarrhea, Vietnam
نویسندگان
چکیده
We detected rotavirus G5P[6] with a long RNA pattern in a Vietnamese child with diarrhea. Viral outer capsid protein VP7 and VP4 genes suggest that it likely originated from porcine rotavirus either by genetic reassortment or as whole virions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of human rotavirus G5 in Asia.

Novel Human Rotavirus Genotype G5P[7] from Child with Diarrhea, Cameroon
We report characterization of a genotype G5P[7] human rotavirus (HRV) from a child in Cameroon who had diarrhea. Sequencing of all 11 gene segments showed similarities to > or =5 genes each from porcine and human rotaviruses. This G5P[7] strain exemplifies the importance of heterologous animal rotaviruses in generating HRV genetic diversity through reassortment.
متن کاملNovel human rotavirus of genotype G5P[6] identified in a stool specimen from a Chinese girl with diarrhea.
During a rotavirus surveillance conducted in Lulong County, Hebei Province, China, a total of 331 stool specimens collected in 2003 from children under 5 years old with diarrhea were screened. We identified a novel group A human rotavirus of genotype G5P[6]. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the VP7 protein of this newly identified strain, LL36755, was closely related to those of the G5 stra...
متن کاملPossible Misidentification of GSP[6] Rotavirus as a Novel Strain Detected in Humans for the First Time
Acute gastroenteritis has been demonstrated to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality of children in both developed and developing countries (12, 13). It has been well established that virtually every child has become infected with a rotavirus at least once by 3 years of age (15, 17). The rotaviruses, which comprise a genus in the family Reoviridae, are spherical in appearance and measure ...

متن کاملDiarrhea caused by rotavirus in children less than 5 years of age in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Group A rotaviruses are the major cause of diarrhea in young children worldwide. From March 2001 to April 2002, 836 children less than 5 years of age were investigated in Hanoi, Vietnam. This included 587 children with diarrhea and 249 age-matched controls. Group A rotavirus was identified in 46.7% of the children with diarrhea and 3.6% of the controls, which was a significant difference. Withi...
