Comparative whole genome analysis reveals re-emergence of human Wa-like and DS-1-like G3 rotaviruses after Rotarix vaccine introduction in Malawi
Mhango C, Banda A, Chinyama E, Mandolo J, Kumwenda O, Malamba-Banda C, et al.
Virus Evol . 2023 Jun; 9(1):vead030. PMID: 37305707
G3 rotaviruses rank among the most common rotavirus strains worldwide in humans and animals. However, despite a robust long-term rotavirus surveillance system from 1997 at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in...

Acute rotavirus infection is associated with the induction of circulating memory CD4 T cell subsets
Malamba-Banda C, Mhango C, Benedicto-Matambo P, Mandolo J, Chinyama E, Kumwenda O, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Jun; 13(1):9001. PMID: 37268634
Strong CD4 T cell-mediated immune protection following rotavirus infection has been observed in animal models, but its relevance in humans remains unclear. Here, we characterized acute and convalescent CD4 T...
