Abstract excerpt
During 2004-2006, group A rotavirus P[8] strains were the major VP4 genotype (43.2%, n = 317) among diarrhoeic children in Eastern India. Phylogenetic analysis of VP8* amino acid sequences of 16 of these strains with other P[8] strains revealed four distinct lineages. P[8] strains from Eastern India clustered within rare OP354-like and Hun9-like lineages, pointing towards co-prevalence of divergent P[8] strains....
