Do different rotavirus vaccines exert different immunological pressures influencing the diversity of circulating rotavirus strains in Australia?
Different rotavirus vaccines appear to exert distinct immunological pressures that influence the diversity of circulating rotavirus strains.
The increased diversity and differences in genotype dominance observed in states using RotaTeq (G12P8), and in states and territories using Rotarix (equine-like G3P8 and G2P4), suggest that these vaccines exert different immunological pressures that influence the diversity of rotavirus strains circulating in Australia.
