Abstract excerpt
In 2006-07, 77 cases of gastroenteritis in Rochester, NY, USA were associated with rotavirus genotype G12P[8]. Sequence analysis identified a high degree of genetic relatedness among the VP7 and VP4 genes of the Rochester G12P[8] strains and between these strains and currently circulating human G12P[8] strains. Out of 77 samples, two and seven unique nucleotide sequences were identified for VP7 and VP4 genes,...
