Discussion

Supports expanded rotavirus surveillance; leaves open vaccine strain coverage for evolving Wa genogroup variants.

Population

Reemerging Serotype G9 Human Rotavirus Strain 95H115 derived from a stool specimen collected in Japan in the 1994-95 season

Intervention

Genogrouping by RNA-RNA hybridization

Comparator

Earlier G9 prototype isolates (AU32 and WI61) and other human prototype strains

Outcome

Genetic background and homology

The 95H115 rotavirus strain belongs to the Wa genogroup but is not a direct descendant of the 1980s G9 prototype strains.

Nakagomi et al. (2002) studied this question.
