Abstract excerpt
The present study was conducted to monitor the genotype diversity of circulating species A rotavirus (RVA) in Iran. A total of 300 faecal specimens were collected from children under 5 years of age hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis between October 2023 and October 2024. G3P[8] represented 72.91% (70/96) of all RVA-positive samples, further subdivided into equine-like G3P[8]-I2-E2 DS-1-like and human...
