Abstract excerpt
Rotaviruses are a leading cause of viral acute gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Eight different rotavirus species (A-H) have been defined based on antigenicity and nucleotide sequence identities of the VP6 gene. Here, the first complete genome sequences of rotavirus F (strain 03V0568) and G (strain 03V0567) with lengths of 18,341 and 18,186bp, respectively, are described. Both viruses have open reading...
