Implication

Supports hypothesis of shared G9 ancestry; leaves open zoonotic surveillance needs in swine and humans.

Structured PICO

Population

Japanese piglets with diarrhea associated with outbreaks of group A rotavirus (GAR) between 2000 and 2002

Outcome

VP7 (G) and VP4 (P) genotypes

Porcine G9 rotavirus strains in Japan are closely related to recently reemerging human G9 strains, suggesting a common progenitor and wider spread in the porcine population than previously thought.
