Key result
Surveillance of 331 children with diarrhea identified a 39.3% positivity rate for group A rotavirus and revealed a novel human rotavirus of genotype G5P[6], suggesting dynamic interaction between human and porcine rotaviruses.

Novel G5P[6] rotavirus in pediatric diarrhea supports zoonotic potential; leaves open need for surveillance and transmission studies.
Observational (n=331)
No
The first identification of a human G5P[6] rotavirus globally suggests a dynamic genetic interaction and potential cross-species transmission between human and porcine rotaviruses.
Li et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Acute gastroenteritis (n=331). Group A rotavirus was evaluated on Detection and genotyping of group A rotavirus. Surveillance of 331 children with diarrhea identified a 39.3% positivity rate for group A rotavirus and revealed a novel human rotavirus of genotype G5P[6], suggesting dynamic interaction between human and porcine rotaviruses.
