Implication
Warrants continued rotavirus strain surveillance in Ghana; leaves open implications for vaccine performance against G3P[4].
Structured PICO
P
Population
50 isolates randomly selected from 165 human group A rotavirus-positive samples collected from children under 2 years of age with gastroenteritis in the rural Upper Eastern Region of Ghana (Kasena Nankana district) between August and December 1998.
O
Outcome
Distribution of rotavirus G and P genotypes
The study identified unusual rotavirus G and P combinations (predominantly G3P[4]) in rural Ghana, highlighting the need for continuous surveillance to inform vaccine design.
Limitations
- Relatively small number of samples tested
