Nigerian rotavirus serotype G8 could not be typedby PCR due to nucleotide mutation at the 3′ endof the primer binding site

Abstract: A rotavirus strain HMG89 from Nigeria with short electrophoretic pattern was typed G3 by PCR. A cDNA clone from the PCR product which hybridised in Northern blots to RNA segment 9 of the homologous Nigerian rotavirus strain HMG89 and laboratory reference strain 69M but not to other mammalian group A rotaviruses was sequenced. The VP7 gene 9 sequence is 1060 nucleotides long with two base deletions at positions 1034-1035. Sequence analysis of the primer (aAT8) used in the previous PCR serotyping assay revealed … Show more

“…The result of enzyme assays showed elevation of both ALP and AST in all the groups of infected rats seen in table 2. The elevaton of these enzymes is in consonance with earlier reports by Gray (1986) and Adah et al, (1997). This has been reported to due to inflammation and necrosis in the infected host particularly in organs like liver, kidney muscle and even heart (Losos and Ikede, 1972).…”

“…Sequence analysis, shows that there are point mutations at the P-type-specifi c primer binding sites which may caused genotyping failure. The mutation in the primer binding site that cause nucleotide mismatches between the VP4 gene and primer sequence also reported by Adah et al (1997), Iturriza-Gomara et al (2000), and Iturriza-Gomara et al (2004). Figure 2 and 3 described the location of primer that were used in this study.…”

“…Therefore, failure to type is most likely to be associated with technical issues and/or low viral load, although occasionally they may represent usual genotypes, particularly in those associated with an animal rotavirus G-or P-types [21][22][23][24][25][26]. The failure to identify G-types associated with P [6], P [9], P [10], P [11] and P [14] may be associated with the presence of unusual G-types for which G genotype-specific primers were not included in the study protocol.…”
