Unusual Assortment of Segments in 2 Rare Human Rotavirus Genomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using full-length genome sequence analysis, we investigated 2 rare G3P[9] human rotavirus strains isolated from children with diarrhea. The genomes were recognized as assortments of genes closely related to rotaviruses originating from cats, ruminants, and humans. Results suggest multiple transmissions of genes from animal to human strains of rotaviruses.

Preferential Assortment of Rearranged NSP3 Gene in the Genetic Background of Simian Rotavirus SA11
Selective assortment of rotavirus NSP3 gene in the genetic background of simian rotavirus strain SA11 was analyzed by using single-NSP3 gene-substitution reassortants having NSP3 gene from human rotavirus strain KU (KU-R) or porcine rotavirus strain OSU (OSU-R) in the SA11 background, and an SA11-derived variant Ga613 having a rearranged SA11NSP3 gene which is 937 nucleotides longer than the or...
متن کاملReassortment of Human Rotavirus Gene Segments into G11 Rotavirus Strains
G11 rotaviruses are believed to be of porcine origin. However, a limited number of G11 rotaviruses have been recently isolated from humans in combination with P[25], P[8], P[6], and P[4]. To investigate the evolutionary relationships of these strains, we analyzed the complete genomes of 2 human G11P[25] strains, 2 human G11P[8] strains, and 3 porcine reference strains. Most of the 11 gene segme...
متن کاملG8 rotavirus strains isolated in the Democratic Republic of Congo belong to the DS-1-like genogroup.
Several G8P[6] and G8P[8] rotavirus strains were isolated from hospitalized patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2003. To investigate their overall genomic relatedness and to determine to which genogroup they belonged, the complete genomes of strains DRC88 (G8P[8]) and DRC86 (G8P[6]) were determined. Genomic comparison of these two African G8 strains revealed that 10 out of their 11 ...
متن کاملEvolutionary history and global spread of the emerging g12 human rotaviruses.
G12 rotaviruses were first detected in diarrheic children in the Philippines in 1987, but no further cases were reported until 1998. However, G12 rotaviruses have been detected all over the world in recent years. Here, we report the worldwide variations of G12 rotaviruses to investigate the evolutionary mechanisms by which they managed to spread globally in a short period of time. We sequenced ...
متن کاملSerotype 3 human rotavirus strains with subgroup I specificity.
During an epidemiological study on human rotavirus (HRV) infections in Italy, three subgroup I strains not associated with serotype 2 reactivity were detected. All three strains were serotype 3, each with a distinct RNA pattern showing fast-moving tenth and eleventh segments (long electropherotype). Following successful adaptation to growth in cell cultures, the serotype 3 strains (MZ58, PCP5, ...
