Supports continued rotavirus strain surveillance post-vaccination; leaves open G3P[6] effects on vaccine performance in Northern Brazil.
Cross-Sectional (n=783)
The emergence of the unusual G3P[6] rotavirus genotype in the Amazon region of Brazil highlights the need for continuous monitoring of circulating strains in the post-vaccine era.
Soares et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute gastroenteritis (n=783). Rotavirus A infection was evaluated on Rotavirus A antigen detection. In Northern Brazil post-vaccine introduction, rotavirus A was detected in 33% of children under 5 with acute gastroenteritis, with an emergence of the unusual G3P[6] genotype (15% of cases).
