relative frequency of human rotavirus vp4 (p) genotypes recovered over a ten-year period from south african children with diarrhea.	the relative frequency and distribution of the vp4 (p) genotypes of 227 human rotavirus field strains were investigated in south africa. the stool samples were collected between 1984-1993 from infants and young children with diarrhea at ga-rankuwa hospital, pretoria, south africa. the rna was extracted from stools, heat denatured, and dot blotted onto nylon membranes. the blots were hybridized to pcr-generated, 32p radio-labelled vp4-specific probes (corresponding to the hyperdivergent region of ...	1995	8551250
the detection and molecular characterization of human g12 genotypes in south africa.	the last decade has seen an increase in the detection of rotavirus strains other than g1-g4 emerging or even predominating in some settings. the performance of the current rotavirus vaccines against unusual or rare circulating rotavirus serotypes cannot be predicted and continuous monitoring of wild type rotaviruses will remain a priority. routine molecular rotavirus surveillance conducted in the gauteng province, south africa during 2004, resulted in the detection of strains that could not type ...	2009	19031449
