Overview

Rotavirus strain diversity may affect vaccine performance in endemic regions; leaves open optimal formulation and surveillance needs.

Structured PICO

P
Population
63 rotavirus-positive specimens from children admitted to diarrhea treatment centers in five Indian cities
O
Outcome
P and G genotypes of group A rotavirus strains

The unusual diversity of rotavirus strains in India, particularly the high prevalence of G9P6, may have important implications for vaccine development.
