Phylogenetic analysis of novel G12 rotaviruses in the United States: A molecular search for the origin of a new strain.

Abstract excerpt

Rotavirus serotype G12 was initially identified in the Philippines in 1987 and was not described again until it reemerged more than 13 years later. G12 strains were first detected in the United States in 2002 and have recently assumed a worldwide distribution. The high similarity between the sequence of the major outer capsid VP7 gene of human G12 strains and the single porcine G12 isolate raised the prospect...
