Abstract
Group A Rotaviruses with serotypes G1-G4 and G9 are the common Rotavirus types of
clinical importance. This study aimed at determining the different Rotavirus genotypes in
stool sample of children below 5 years. A total of 300 children with acute gastroenteritis were
tested for group specific VP6 antigen of group A Rotaviruses by Enzyme Linked
Immunosorbent Assay. 47 of these samples were positive for Rotavirus antigen. Out of these,
20 positive samples were subjected to Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction
for genotyping. The identified genotypes were G9P8, G1P8, G2P4, G9P4 (non-vaccine
genotype), G1P6, and G1 (P types not identified in 5 samples).
