Abstract excerpt
This study reports the molecular characterization of G9P[8] rotavirus strains from children with acute diarrhea identified in different cities of Italy, in 2007 and 2010. Seventeen samples exhibited a G9P[8] genotype by RT-PCR and semi-nested PCR. Preliminary sequence analysis of the VP7 and VP8(*) encoding genes revealed nucleotide identities ranging between 96% and 100%. Full genome sequencing of four G9P[8]...
