This study presents whole genomes of seven bovine rotavirus strains from South Africa and Mozambique. Double-stranded RNA, extracted from stool samples without prior adaptation to cell culture, was used to synthesise cDNA using a self-annealing anchor primer ligated to dsRNA and random hexamers. The cDNA...
Rotavirus A (RVA) is an important pathogen causing gastroenteritis in many species, including humans and pigs. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of RVA in pigs from smallholdings and commercial farms in southern Mozambique and characterize the complete genomes of selected strain...
Mozambique introduced the rotarix® vaccine (gsk biologicals, rixensart, belgium) into the na-tional immunization program in september 2015. Although g1p[8] was one of the most prevalent genotypes between 2012 and 2017 in mozambique, no complete genomes had been sequenced to date. here we report whole ge...
