Abstract excerpt
Rotavirus epidemiological surveys with molecular analysis of strains are required for gastroenteritis control and prevention. Twenty-nine human rotavirus strains detected in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 1986 to 2004 were characterized as P[8],G1, P[8],G5, P[8],G9, and P[4],G2 genotypes. The VP7 genes were sequenced and phylogenetic analysis was performed. Strains of genotype G1 revealed two distinct lineages,...
