The emergence of G8P[8] rotavirus group A across Vietnam.
- Abstract:
- Group A rotaviruses (RoV) are highly transmissible, globally ubiquitous, and are the principal cause of acute gastroenteritis in children. RoV are non-enveloped double-stranded RNA viruses comprised of 11 independent gene segments, encoding six structural proteins (VP1–VP4, VP6 and VP7) and five nonstructural proteins (NSP1– NSP5/6). Reassortment of viral segments can occur when a single cell is co-infected with two or more viruses, yielding mixed progeny with gene segments derived from multiple parental strains. Within a hospital-based study conducted to determine the etiology of diarrhea in five provincial hospitals located across Vietnam from 2012 to 2015, we detect RoV in 50.2% of all cases (678 RoV-positive/1,350 diarrhea cases).
