T1 - Novel Human Rotavirus Genotype G5P[7] from Child with Diarrhea, Cameroon T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2009 VL - 15 IS - 1 SP - 83 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We report characterization of a genotype G5P[7] human rotavirus (HRV) from a child in Cameroon who had diarrhea. Sequencing of all 11 gene segments showed similarities to >5 genes each from porcine and human rotaviruses. This G5P[7] strain exemplifies the importance of heterologous animal rotaviruses in generating HRV genetic diversity through reassortment.
