Abstract excerpt
Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are major etiologic agents of gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. To study the prevalence and genetic characteristics of RVAs, a hospital-based surveillance study was conducted in Wuhan, China from June 2019 through May 2022. The detection rates of RVAs were 19.40% (142/732) and 3.51% (8/228) in children and adults, respectively. G9P[8] was the predominant genotype,...
