Emergence of Serotype G12 Rotaviruses, Hungary
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the emergence of serotype G12 rotaviruses (67 [6.9%] of 971 specimens tested) among children hospitalized with rotavirus gastroenteritis in Hungary during 2005. These findings are consistent with recent reports of the possible global spread and increasing epidemiologic importance of these strains, which may have implications for current rotavirus vaccination strategies.

Serotype G12 Rotaviruses, Lilongwe, Malawi
To assess diversity of rotavirus strains in Lilongwe, Malawi, we conducted a cross-sectional study of children with acute gastroenteritis, July 2005-June 2007. Serotype G12 was identified in 30 (5%) of 546 rotavirus-positive fecal specimens. The G12 strain possessed multiple electropherotypes and P-types, but their viral protein 7 sequences were closely related, indicating that reassortment has...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of rotavirus diarrhea among children and adults in Nepal: detection of G12 strains with P[6] or P[8] and a G11P[25] strain.
In anticipation of a rotavirus vaccine in Nepal, this study was undertaken to determine the distribution of the G and P serotypes and electropherotypes of rotaviruses in order to examine if there is any emerging serotype or unusual strain circulating in children and adults in Nepal. Of 1,315 diarrheal stool specimens, rotavirus was detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 116 (17%) o...
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 کاملMolecular epidemiology of human P[8],G9 rotaviruses in Hungary between 1998 and 2001.
Increasing numbers of studies have documented the widespread distribution of human G9 rotaviruses and demonstrated that these strains may represent a fifth epidemiologically important G serotype. Serotype G9 strains were identified in Hungary for the first time in the 1997-1998 rotavirus season. Contrary to numerous surveys that reported several unexpected P-G combinations among recent G9 isola...
