Full-genome characterization of a G8P[8] rotavirus that emerged among children with diarrhea in Croatia in 2006.

چکیده
The whole genome of a G8P[8] rotavirus from the 2006 epidemic in Croatia was sequenced and showed a Wa-like genotype constellation. Its VP7 gene clustered with DS-1-like G8 African rotaviruses and a G8P[4] German strain. Remaining genes clustered with contemporary Belgian G1P[8] rotaviruses, suggesting reassortment between human G8 and G1P[8] rotaviruses in Croatia or other European countries.

The emergence and rapid spread of unusual DS-1-like intergenogroup reassortant rotavirus strains have been recently reported in Asia, Australia, and Europe. During rotavirus surveillance in Thailand in 2013-2014, novel DS-1-like intergenogroup reassortant strains having G8P[8] genotypes (i.e., strains KKL-17, PCB-79, PCB-84, PCB-85, PCB-103, SKT-107, SWL-12, NP-130, PCB-656, SKT-457, SSKT-269, ...

Rotavirus remains a major cause of diarrhea in infants and young children especially in developing countries. Monitoring changes in rotavirus strains is necessary to assess the potential effectiveness of vaccines in specific geographic locations. This project aimed at monitoring the epidemiological status of rotavirus among Thai children. A total of 73 positive fecal samples for rotavirus were ...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Rotavirus Infection in Certain Countries
Abstract Acute diarrhea with severe dehydration has been a major worldwide cause of death in children younger than 5 years of age. Etiological studies of gastroenteritis have shown that rotavirus causes 40–50% of acute diarrhea among infants and children in both developing and developed nations. Numerous epidemiologic studies in the US and the World Health Organization have docu...
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 ...
