SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Serotype G12 rotaviruses, Lilongwe, Malawi

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 15, No. 1, Year 2009

To assess diversity of rotavirus strains in Lilongwe, Malawi, we conducted a cross-sectional study of children with acute gastroenteritis, July 2005-June 2007. Serotype G12 was identified in 30 (5%) of 546 rotavirus-positive fecal specimens. The G12 strain possessed multiple electropherotypes and P-types, but their viral protein 7 sequences were closely related, indicating that reassortment has occurred.
