Abstract excerpt
The group A rotavirus (RVA) P[19] is a rare P-genotype of the RVA VP4 gene, reported so far in humans and pigs. Whole genomic analyses of P[19] strains are essential to study their origin and evolutionary patterns. To date, all the 11 genes of only two P[19] strains, RVA/Human-wt/IND/RMC321/1990/G9P[19] and RVA/Human-wt/IND/mani-97/2006/G9P[19], have been analyzed, providing evidence for their porcine origin. In...
