Abstract: A safe and effective rotavirus vaccine is urgently needed, particularly in developing countries. Critical to vaccine development and implementation is a knowledge base concerning the epidemiology of rotavirus G and P serotypes/genotypes throughout the world. The temporal and geographical distribution of human rotavirus G and P types was reviewed by analysing a total of 45571 strains collected globally from 124 studies reported from 52 countries on five continents published between 1989 and 2004. Four common G … Show more

“…The burden of rotavirus disease on the health care system was substantial during the study period, despite a remarkable decrease in the incidence of rotavirus AGE observed in the first decade of this century [12]. In line with the results of previous studies performed in developed countries in recent years, we observed predominant circulation of G1[P8] strains, the emergence of G9[P8] strains, and scarce detection of Gtype strains other than G1-G4 and G9 [2,9,[13][14][15]. In 14 of the 20 seasons after 1989, the main G-type was G1, a percentage similar to that also observed over a 20-year period (1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) in Palermo, Italy [16].…”

“…In Europe, sporadic detection of G9 strains was reported in Italy in the first half of the 1990s [17]. However, after the emergence of the new lineage 3 in the United States in 1993-1994, G9 strains spread throughout the world and became a common genotype globally [9]. In Europe, the new strains were initially detected in the United Kingdom (1995-1996) combined with P-type 6, which was replaced by P-type 8 in the next few years [18] A well-documented finding in this survey was the marked decrease in the current decade in the circulation of the G4 genotype.…”

“…The VP7 gene of the same strain was identified as G8 and displayed high similarity to the Egyptian human Rotavirus A strain EGY1850 (maximum identity at nucleotide level 96%), while the sequence analysis of the VP6 gene identified it as subgroup I and displayed high nucleotide identity (97%) to the Slovenian Human Rotavirus A strain SI-R241/07 [Holmes et al, 1999]. This uncommon strain G8P [14] was detected from a non-hospitalized child living in a rural region of Larisa who may have close contact with animals, and is possibly the result of reassortment between human and animal strains during coinfection [Holmes et al, 1999;Medici et al, 2008;Santos, Hoshino, 2005]. There are few reports that associate P[14] with G types in humans, because P[14] is a rotavirus type that has been detected mostly in animals [Holmes et al, 1999;Matthijnssens et al, 2009;Medici et al, 2008; .…”

G8 is a rotavirus type that can be found in cows at relatively high frequency and presents a great diversity of G-P combinations [Santos, Hoshino, 2005] In the previous decades human G8 was circulating mostly in tropical regions like Indonesia, Brazil and Africa and sporadically in some European countries like Finland, Italy and United Kingdom [Holmes et al 1992]. Recently has reported mistyping of G8 human strains as G12 due to point mutations at the G8 specific primer binding site and the G8 and G12 primers were necessarily redesigned [Aladin et al, 2010].…”
