Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: G9 rotavirus genotype was isolated in the 1980s and re-emerged without a clear explanation in the mid-1990s as one of the most frequently occurring genotypes with distinct genetic and molecular characteristics. OBJECTIVES: To study the G9 genotype sequence polymorphisms in Spain and compare them with the human and porcine G9 VP7 genes from the rest of the world. Complete phylogenetic analyses have...
