Implication

Informs South African rotavirus surveillance; leaves open vaccine strain match and effectiveness questions.

Structured PICO

Population

572 human rotavirus strains collected from five regions in South Africa, including strains from 28 symptomatically infected neonates and 8 symptomatic infants.

Intervention

Hybridization analysis using cDNA probes directed at six human rotavirus VP7 serotypes (G1-G4, G8, G9) and five VP4 genotypes (P4, P6, P8, P9, P10)

Outcome

Distribution of VP7 serotypes and VP4 genotypes

The study maps the regional distribution of rotavirus genotypes in South Africa, highlighting the predominance of G1 and P8 strains.
