PLOS Glob Public Health . 2023 Nov; 3(11):e0001358. PMID: 38015834
Rotavirus is the most common pathogen causing pediatric diarrhea and an important cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. Previous evidence suggests that the introduction of rotavirus...

Viruses . 2022 Aug; 14(8). PMID: 36016397
Before the introduction of vaccines, group A rotaviruses (RVA) were the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in children worldwide. The National Rotavirus Strain Surveillance System (NRSSS) was established in 1996...

Virus Evol . 2021 Sep; 7(1):veab023. PMID: 34522389
For over a decade, the New Vaccine Surveillance Network (NVSN) has conducted active rotavirus (RVA) strain surveillance in the USA. The evolution of RVA in the post-vaccine introduction era and...

Esona M, Ward M, Wikswo M, Rustempasic S, Gautam R, Perkins C, et al.
J Infect Dis . 2021 Apr; 224(9):1539-1549. PMID: 33822119
Background: Following the implementation of rotavirus vaccination in 2006, severe acute gastroenteritis (AGE) due to group A rotavirus (RVA) has substantially declined in US children. We report the RVA genotype...

Hofstetter A, Lacombe K, Klein E, Jones C, Strelitz B, Jacobson E, et al.
Pediatrics . 2017 Dec; 141(1). PMID: 29212881
Background: Infants born prematurely or with underlying conditions are at increased risk of severe rotavirus disease and associated complications. Given the theoretical risk of nosocomial transmission of vaccine-type rotavirus, rotavirus...

Genome Announc . 2017 Nov; 5(47). PMID: 29167260
We report here the full coding region sequences for all 11 segments of the first equine-like G3P[8] rotavirus strain detected in the United States, strain RVA/Human-wt/USA/3000390639/2015/G3P[8]. The full genotype constellation...

J Clin Virol . 2017 Sep; 95:66-71. PMID: 28889082
Background: Viruses are major etiological agents of childhood gastroenteritis. In recent years, several molecular platforms for the detection of viral enteric pathogens have become available. Objective/study Design: We evaluated the...
