Abstract excerpt
Species A rotavirus are an important cause of childhood gastroenteritis, and the main contributor to its pathogenicity is the enterotoxin (NSP4) protein. Some biophysical properties of partial NSP4 genes of RVAs isolated from sewage in Nigeria during 2014/2015 were investigated. Samples were typed by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing of partial VP4, VP7 and NSP4 genes. Phylogeny identified lineages within genotypes,...
