Emerging mixed-genotype RVA strains warrant surveillance; leaves open their competitive fitness in human populations.
Observational
The emergence and rapid spread of a novel DS-1-like G1P[8] rotavirus reassortant in Japan highlights the need for continuous genomic surveillance of rotavirus strains.
Yamamoto et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Rotavirus A-associated gastroenteritis. DS-1-like G1P[8] rotavirus strain was evaluated on Proportion of rotavirus outbreaks caused by the DS-1-like G1P[8] strain. An unusual DS-1-like G1P[8] rotavirus strain emerged in 2012 and became the prevalent genotype, causing 66.7% of rotavirus outbreaks in 2012 and 85.7% in 2013 in Osaka City, Japan.
