Abstract excerpt
Serotype G9 rotaviruses have emerged as one of the leading causes of gastroenteritis in children worldwide. We examined 29 representative G9 rotavirus isolates from a 6-year collection (1997-2002) and determined the level of variation in genes encoding non-structural proteins, NSP1 and NSP4. Northern hybridization analysis with a whole genome probe derived from the prototype G9 strain, F45, revealed that the NSP1...
