Abstract excerpt
Human rotavirus B (RVB), a rare cause of diarrhea in several Asian countries, has been reported to be genetically highly conserved. However, 14 RVB strains with two distinct RNA electropherotypes E1 and E2 (11 and 3 strains, respectively) were detected in adult patients with diarrhea, in Mymensingh in the north-central Bangladesh in 2014. In this study, VP7 gene sequences of all the 14 strains and nearly...
