Dual typing (VP4 and VP7) of rotavirus obtained from 257 Mexican children during three epidemiological seasons was performed by reverse transcription-PCR. The P1G1 genotype was the most prevalent (40%), followed by P1G3 (19%) and P2G2 (16%). Thirty-one specimens (12%) presented mixed infections, while some genotypes were not found. This is the first dual typing of isolates from diarrhea cases in Mexico.

Group A human rotavirus G genotypes were determined by means of reverse transcription-PCR in 170 stool specimens from children with acute diarrhea admitted to a Paris children’s hospital during a 1-year survey (1997 to 1998). The isolates all belonged to types G1 to G4, with type G4 predominating (60%).

In 2018, a 26-month-old girl, fully vaccinated with Rotarix in 2016, presented with fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. A rapid test showed that her feces contained rotavirus A (RVA). VP7 reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and Illumina sequencing showed that a G1P[8] strain with a Wa-like genotype constellation was the etiologic agent. This is the first near-complete RVA genome sequence from Nigeria.

Rotavirus G and P types from 716 children with acute diarrhea in Dijon from 1995 to 1998 and throughout France during the winter of 1997-1998 were analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR. P[8],G1 predominated, followed by P[8],G4, which emerged during the last winter. G9 and P[6] strains were detected at low frequencies.

ABSTRACT The P (VP4) and G (VP7) genotypes of 167 group A rotavirus strains obtained during the period 1996 to 1998 from 149 children living in a suburban community in Guinea-Bissau, western Africa, were determined by the reverse transcription-PCR technique. A total of nine combinations including five different P types and five different G types were identified. The globally common genotype pairs P[8], G1; P[4], G2; P[8], G3 and P[8], G4 were underrepresented in this study area. We found a substantial year-to-year variation in the occurrence of the genotype combinations. In 1996 and 1997, P[6], G2 was the most frequent, whereas P[8], G1 was more common in 1998. The unusual type P[9], G3 and a few mixed infections were detected. Sixteen percent of the rotavirus-positive samples were nontypeable.
