Outline of Final Research Achievements

Epidemic dynamics for long periods of human rotaviruses in Asia was analyzed molecular epidemiologically based on whole genome (11 gene segments). In Wuhan, China, G3P[8] was the most prevalent genotype of rotaviruses over past 10 years, which was thereafter replaced by G9P[8]. Change of lineages was detected for most of their gene segments with the passage of time. In Bangladesh, two lineages of the most prevalent G2P[4] genotype in 2010 were replaced by a novel lineage after 3 years. These findings indicated that replacement of gene segments via reassortment and mutation occurred over time among rotaviruses with prevalent genotypes. It was suggested that genetic changes have been occurring constantly even among the same genotype of rotaviruses.
