Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the G9P[8] rotavirus A genotype, which has been the main type found in Malaysia since the 2000s, and aims to explore its genetic characteristics and evolution.
- - Researchers analyzed the complete genomes of three G9P[8] strains from young children in Sabah, discovering that they show a DS-1-like genotype instead of the typical Wa-like arrangement.
- - Phylogenetic analysis indicated that two strains were genetically similar to G9P[8]-E2 strains from Japan, hinting at a shared ancestry, and the findings are essential for improving rotavirus monitoring and developing vaccines.

Globally, norovirus (NoV) has become one of the important causes of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children. It is responsible for death of children younger than 5 years in developing countries. Although there is limited information and the rate of child mortality caused by diarrhea is low in Malaysia, the burden of diarrhea is high, especially in Sabah.

Objectives: In this study we investigated an outbreak of Vibrio cholera O1 Ogawa serotype, occurred during December 2014 in Kudat district, situated in Sabah state of the Malaysian part of Borneo.
Methods: Active case detection and contact tracing were done at respective localities by house to house survey. Passive case detection was done among acute gastroenteritis patients attended at various health facilities.
