The SA44 isolate of Rotavirus A (RVA) was identified from a neonatal Peruvian alpaca presenting with diarrhea, and the full-length genome sequence of the isolate (designated RVA/Alpaca-tc/PER/SA44/2014/G3P[40]) was determined. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the isolate possessed the genotype constellation G3-P[40]-I8-R3-C3-M3-A9-N3-T3-E3-H6, which differs considerably from those of RVA strains isolated from other species of the order Artiodactyla. Overall, the genetic constellation of the SA44 strain was quite similar to those of RVA strains isolated from a bat in Asia (MSLH14 and MYAS33). Nonetheless, phylogenetic analyses of each genome segment identified a distinct combination of genes. Several sequences were closely related to corresponding gene sequences in RVA strains from other species, including human (VP1, VP2, NSP1, and NSP2), simian (VP3 and NSP5), bat (VP6 and NSP4), and equine (NSP3). The VP7 gene sequence was closely related to RVA strains from a Peruvian alpaca (K'ayra/3368-10; 99.0% nucleotide and 99.7% amino acid identity) and from humans (RCH272; 95% nucleotide and 99.0% amino acid identity). The nucleotide sequence of the VP4 gene was distantly related to other VP4 sequences and was designated as the reference strain for the new P[40] genotype. This unique genetic makeup suggests that the SA44 strain emerged from multiple reassortment events between bat-, equine-, and human-like RVA strains.

Introduction: This study, conducted in China prior to RotaTeq's launch, examined the epidemiological, molecular, and evolutionary features of the G1P[8] genotype RVA in children admitted with diarrhea, to aid in evaluating its efficacy and impact on G1P[8] RVA in China.
Methods: Data from the Chinese viral diarrhea surveillance network were collected from January 2016 to December 2018. RVA strains identified as the G1P[8] genotype were subjected to whole-genome sequencing.

Inter-genogroup reassortment of Rotavirus A (RVA) strains has highlighted the spread of unusual RVA strains worldwide. We previously reported the equine-like G3 RVA as the predominant strain in Indonesia in 2015-2016. However, since July 2017, typical human genotypes G1 and G3 have replaced these strains completely.

Human rotavirus A (RVA) causes acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children. The LLR RVA vaccine, which licensed in 2000 and widely used in China, significantly reduced rotavirus disease burden in China. With the changing of RV circulating strains and the emergence of new genotypes, the LLR vaccine against RVGE needed to be upgraded.

Article Synopsis
- Rotavirus A (RVA) is a leading cause of gastroenteritis in calves and has the potential to spread to humans, making it a public health concern.
- A study in Amhara, Ethiopia, involved 266 calves to assess the prevalence and genetic variety of RVA, finding a 15.4% infection rate with various G and P genotypes.
- The research highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of RVA in calves due to its significant presence and possible zoonotic transmission risks.

Article Synopsis
- Rotavirus species A (RVA) significantly contributes to acute gastroenteritis in both humans and various animals, including rabbits, but detailed genetic studies on rabbit strains are limited.
- A new rotavirus strain (C-3/15) identified from a Mexican commercial rabbitry outbreak revealed a G3 P[8] genotype, which hasn't been previously reported in rabbits and shows close genetic ties to human rotaviruses.
- This finding suggests possible interspecies transmission of rotaviruses, marking the first molecular study of RVAs in rabbits in Mexico and highlighting the presence of human-associated genotypes in a rabbit with enteric disease.
