Overview
Uncommon rotavirus strains circulate in Hungary; extends local surveillance data but leaves open vaccine implications.
Structured PICO

Intervention
Analysis for G serotype using monoclonal antibody-based immunoassay and reverse transcription-PCR
O
Outcome
Identification of G and P types, subgroup specificity, and RNA profile
The study identifies the circulation of unusual G and P rotavirus types in Hungary, highlighting P[9],G6 and P[8],G9 as potentially important new serotypes.
