Group A rotavirus gastroenteritis: post-vaccine era, genotypes and zoonotic transmission
DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082016RB3582
ABSTRACT
This article provides a review of immunity, diagnosis, and clinical aspects of rotavirus disease. It also informs about the changes in epidemiology of diarrheal disease and genetic diversity of circulating group A rotavirus strains following the introduction of vaccines. Group A rotavirus is the major pathogen causing gastroenteritis in animals. Its segmented RNA genome can lead to the emergence of new or unusual strains in human populations via interspecies transmission and/or reassortment events.
