May signal zoonotic rotavirus emergence; extends evidence of porcine-human reassortment in human infections.
The identification of a G5P[7] human rotavirus strain with both porcine and human gene segments highlights the role of heterologous animal rotaviruses in generating human rotavirus genetic diversity through reassortment.
Esona et al. (2008) studied this question.
