Overview

Analysis reveals diverse genotypes and significant amino acid substitutions in rotavirus strains, suggesting vaccine performance may be compromised.

Key Points

  • The predominant rotavirus A genotype detected was G9P[4], potentially affecting vaccine efficacy.
  • In total, 30 of 247 samples tested positive for rotavirus A, indicating a prevalence rate of 12.14%.
  • Phylogenetic analysis showed current strains cluster with previously reported Ethiopian strains, suggesting an evolutionary connection.
  • Substantial amino acid substitutions in current circulating strains compared to the Rotarix vaccine strain highlight concerns for vaccine performance.
