Overview

Rotavirus strain surveillance in Spain supports ongoing monitoring; leaves open whether current vaccines require updating for emerging genotypes.

Structured PICO

Population

Children under 5 years old with acute gastroenteritis in Madrid, Spain (n=3,760 specimens tested)

Outcome

Incidence and distribution of human rotavirus G types

The study identifies a genotypic shift in rotavirus strains in Spain and reports the first detection of the G9 genotype, suggesting current vaccines targeting G1-G4 may need updating.
