Resurgence and predominance of G3P[8] human rotaviruses in north-central Bangladesh, 2018-2019

Abstract Predominance of genotype G3P[8] rotavirus was revealed for diarrheal children and adults in north-central Bangladesh for one year-period from September 2018. The G3P[8] rotaviruses were phylogenetically close to recent Indian strains, having antigenic variation in VP7 and VP4 compared to old Bangladeshi strains.
