Abstract

VP7 and VP4 genotypes of 82 rotavirus strains from children with acute diarrhoea during November 1998-January 1999, in 4 Indian towns, were determined by reverse-transcription PCR. Overall, 68/82 (83%) could be VP7- and 52/82 (63%) VP4-typed. Geographical differences in rotavirus circulation have implications for future vaccination strategies.
