G26P[19] ROTAVIRUS A STRAIN CAUSING ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS IN THE AMERICAN CONTINENT
Author
Affilliation
Abstract
In Brazil, the rotavirus A genotype G26 was first identified in suckling piglets, while the P[19] genotype has not been
identified in any animal species so far. This report details the genetic characterisation of a G26P[19] RVA strain detected from an
eight year-old child, vaccinated with Rotarix®, hospitalised with acute diarrhoeal disease in Rio de Janeiro in 2015. Most likely,
the genome constellation (I5-R1-C1-M1-A8-N1-T1-E1-H1) observed in the G26P[19] Brazilian strain was a result of interspecies
transmission events between humans and pigs. In addition, a rearrangement in the NSP5 gene was observed downstream of the
3’ non-coding region.
