Abstract excerpt
A comprehensive molecular epidemiological study using next generation sequencing technology was conducted on 333 rotavirus-positive specimens collected from six sentinel hospitals across Japan over three consecutive seasons (2012–2014). Most of rotaviruses were grouped into five genotype constellations: Wa-like G1P[8], DS-1-like G1P[8], G2P[4], G3P[8] and G9P[8]. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the distribution...
