Rotavirus group C is an important cause of sporadic cases and outbreaks of gastroenteritis worldwide. Whole-Genome sequences of human rotavirus C (RVC) in public databases are limited. We performed genome sequencing to analyze a RVC outbreak of acute gastroenteritis in China. Samples from 22 patients were screened for pathogens using RT-PCR, and six samples were positive for rotavirus. Whole-Genome sequencing analysis showed that the outbreak strain SJZ217 belongs to the G4-P[2]-I2-R2-C2-M3-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2 genotype and shares almost identical genomic sequences with Chungnam isolated in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis revealed strain SJZ217 also fell into a cluster with rotavirus C strains from Japan and Europe. Reassortment in the VP4 fragment was observed. These results helped to understand the genetic diversity and possible spread of RVC strains.
轮状病毒 C 组是引起全球散发性和暴发胃肠炎的重要病原体。公共数据库中人类轮状病毒 C(RVC)的全基因组序列有限。我们进行了基因组测序,以分析中国一起 RVC 暴发的急性胃肠炎。使用 RT-PCR 对 22 例患者的样本进行了病原体筛查,其中 6 例样本检测出轮状病毒阳性。全基因组测序分析显示,暴发株 SJZ217 属于 G4-P[2]-I2-R2-C2-M3-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2 基因型,与韩国分离的 Chungnam 株具有几乎完全相同的基因组序列。系统进化分析显示,SJZ217 株也与来自日本和欧洲的轮状病毒 C 株聚类在一起。在 VP4 片段观察到重组。这些结果有助于了解 RVC 株的遗传多样性和可能的传播。
