| distribution of human rotavirus g types circulating in paris, france, during the 1997-1998 epidemic: high prevalence of type g4. | group a human rotavirus g genotypes were determined by means of reverse transcription-pcr in 170 stool specimens from children with acute diarrhea admitted to a paris children's hospital during a 1-year survey (1997 to 1998). the isolates all belonged to types g1 to g4, with type g4 predominating (60%). | 1999 | 10364621 |
| comparative analysis of vp8* sequences from rotaviruses possessing m37-like vp4 recovered from children with and without diarrhoea. | rotavirus strains belonging to g types 1 to 4 and having a p3 genotype (m37-like vp4) were recovered from children with symptomatic and asymptomatic infections. partial sequences of their vp4 genes were determined in an attempt to characterize these strains further. the genomic regions encoding vp8*, the connecting and putative fusion peptides and three other regions in vp5* were sequenced. the deduced amino acid sequences were compared with rotavirus strains belonging to different p genotypes t ... | 1994 | 8021606 |
