This study reports the first outbreak of pig-derived rotavirus G11,P[25] in Korea in 2018 among junior high school students.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Raises caution for zoonotic rotavirus in group outbreaks; leaves open questions on transmission dynamics and surveillance needs.
We here report the first outbreak caused by rotavirus G11,P[25] in Korea in 2018, representing a case of re-assortment with pig-derived rotavirus. The genotype constellation was identical to the virus identified in Korea in 2012 as G11-P[25]-I12-R1-C1-M1-A1-N1-T1-E1-H1. The infection source was not known exactly but it must be considered infection from swine.

Chae et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Rotavirus infection (n=575). Rotavirus G11,P[25] exposure was evaluated on Incidence of clinical symptoms (diarrhea more than 3 times a day). An outbreak of rotavirus G11,P[25], a suspected pig-derived reassortant strain, caused clinical symptoms in 19.3% (111 of 575) of exposed junior high school students at a training center in Korea.
