The study identifies G1P[8] as the predominant rotavirus strain in Irish children with gastroenteritis between 2006 and 2009, and detects emerging lineages previously unseen in the region.
Cashman et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Gastroenteritis (Rotavirus infection) (n=420). Rotavirus infection was evaluated on Distribution of rotavirus G and P genotypes. Between 2006 and 2009, G1P[8] was the predominant rotavirus strain (71.2%) detected in Irish children with gastroenteritis, alongside the emergence of new lineages previously unseen in the population.
