BACKGROUND: Rotaviruses are major causes of diarrhea in children for which vaccines were developed and are currently in use.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the genotypes of rotavirus strains causing dehydrating diarrhea in children in Uberaba, Triângulo Mineiro region, Minas Gerais, during 2005-2006.
METHODS: Rotavirus-associated diarrhea was investigated in fecal specimens by PAGE and strains were characterized for their genotype by RT-PCR and PCR-typing assays.
RESULTS: Rotavirus was detected in 15% (39/260) of the fecal specimens by PAGE: 64% of the specimens presented short electrophoretic patterns and G2P[4] genotype; and 36% presented long electropherotypes and G1P[8], G9P[8], G4P[9] and two strains with sill undetermined G and P[8] genotype. A change in the dominant electrophoretic pattern was observed, shifting from long to short patterns and coinciding with the highest incidence of diarrheal cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Those are the first data on rotavirus strains circulating in the Triângulo Mineiro region. They were obtained over a 16-month period that included the first 10 months after the launch of the national rotavirus immunization program that uses a monovalent G1P[8] attenuated vaccine strain. These results should further our understanding of the dynamics of rotavirus strains and help interpreting the significance of the program.
