Whole genome analyses of African G2, G8, G9, and G12 rotavirus strains using sequence-independent amplification and 454® pyrosequencing

Mlera, Luwanika; Van Dijk, Alberdina Aike; Jere, Khuzwayo C.; Page, Nicola A.; O'Neill, Hester Gertruida (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)

High mortality rates caused by rotaviruses are associated with several strains such as G2, G8, G9, and G12 rotaviruses. Rotaviruses with G9 and G12 genotypes emerged worldwide in the past two decades. G2 and G8 rotaviruses ...
Whole genome analysis of multiple rotavirus strains from a single stool specimen using sequence-independent amplification and 454® pyrosequencing reveals evidence of intergenotype genome segment recombination

Jere, Khuzwayo; Mlera, Luwanika; Van Dijk, Alberdina Aike; Page, Nicola A.; O'Neill, Hester Gertruida (Elsevier, 2011)

Infection of a single host cell with two or more different rotavirus strains creates conditions favourable for evolutionary mechanisms like reassortment and recombination that can generate novel strains. Despite numerous ...
