Supports expanded genomic surveillance of group B rotaviruses; leaves open effects on pathogenicity and vaccines.
Human group B rotaviruses appear to evolve in a similar manner to group A rotaviruses, with conserved functionally important motifs across viral proteins.
Ghosh et al. (2010) studied Group B rotavirus infection. Whole genome sequencing of human group B rotaviruses vs. Previously reported GBRs and group A rotaviruses was evaluated on Nucleotide sequence identities and phylogenetic analysis. Human group B rotavirus strains from India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar showed >95% nucleotide sequence identities across all RNA segments and appear to evolve similarly to group A rotaviruses.
