Regional rotavirus surveillance informs vaccine strain selection; leaves open whether G2P[4] predominance warrants updated formulations in South Korea.
Min et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Severe diarrhea (n=607). Rotavirus genotype was evaluated on Rotavirus G- and P-type distribution. Surveillance of rotavirus in South Korean children with severe diarrhea revealed G2P[4] as the most common genotype combination, contrasting with the globally prevalent G1P[8] strain.
