This study was conducted to investigate the distribution of rotavirus genotypes in Nara Prefecture, Japan before and after the introduction of rotavirus vaccination in 2011. Since the 2011/2012 season, DS-1-like G1P[8] strains have been detected in Nara Prefecture, accounting for about half of all strains in the 2014/2015 season. During the 2015/2016 season, no DS-1-like G1P[8] strains were detected; G2P[4] was the predominant genotype.
本研究旨在调查2011年日本奈良县引入轮状病毒疫苗前后轮状病毒基因型的分布情况。自2011/2012季节以来,奈良县已检测到DS-1样G1P[8]毒株,在2014/2015季节约占所有毒株的一半。在2015/2016季节,未检测到DS-1样G1P[8]毒株;G2P[4]是主要基因型。
