Between 1998 and 2000, a total of 266 samples were found positive for group A rotaviruses by RNA electrophoresis. Samples were collected from patients admitted to two leading hospitals in Calcutta. Serotyping could be done only with 22% of the positive samples, leaving 78% untypeable. The G (VP7 genotypes) and P (VP4 genotypes) types were determined for 159 samples by reverse transcription and multiplex PCR. The predominant genotype was G1P[8] (20%), followed by G2P[4] (15%) and G4P[8] (6%). A number of uncommon genotypes, G1P[4] (4%), G2P[8] (2.5%), G2P[6] (0.6%), G4P[4] (2.5%), and G4P[6] (1.25%), were also detected during this study period. Twenty two percent of specimens showed mixed infections, 38 (24%) of the total samples remained untypeable for either VP7 or VP4, while only 4 (2.5%) of the samples were untypeable for both genes. Eleven specimens collected from Manipur were also genotyped and revealed a very high degree of genomic reassortment.
1998年至2000年间,通过RNA电泳共发现266份样本的A组轮状病毒呈阳性。样本取自加尔各答两家主要医院收治的患者。仅对22%的阳性样本进行了血清分型,其余78%无法分型。通过逆转录和多重PCR对159份样本确定了G(VP7基因型)和P(VP4基因型)类型。主要基因型为G1P[8](20%),其次是G2P[4](15%)和G4P[8](6%)。在本研究期间还检测到一些不常见的基因型,G1P[4](4%)、G2P[8](2.5%)、G2P[6](0.6%)、G4P[4](2.5%)和G4P[6](1.25%)。22%的标本显示混合感染,38份(24%)样本的VP7或VP4均无法分型,而仅4份(2.5%)样本的两个基因均无法分型。从曼尼普尔采集的11份标本也进行了基因分型,结果显示基因组重配程度非常高。
