Abstract

Rotavirus infection is one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis in children in their first years of life. We studied the genotypic diversity of rotavirus A (RVA) strains in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, during the period 2016-19. In total, 4714 samples of faeces from children admitted to the Nizhny Novgorod Hospital for Infectious Diseases with acute gastroenteritis were examined. The share of rotavirus-positive samples was 31.5% in 2016-17. It decreased to 21.6% in 2018-19. In Nizhny Novgorod, all six global types of RVA were detected (G1P[8], G2P[4], G3P[8], G4P[8], G9P[8] and G12P[8]), as well as sporadic samples with genotypes G9P[4], G3P[9], G9P[9], G8P[8], G2P[8], G4P[4], G3P[9]. The fraction of strains with genotype G2P[4] gradually increased from 5.9% in 2016-17 to 39.1% in 2018-19. Simultaneously, the proportion of G9P[8] strains decreased from 63.2% to 27.7% in the same period. Phylogenetic analysis showed that rotaviruses with the G2P[4] genotype carried ubiquitous alleles of the VP7 and VP4 genes during the period of their prevalence: G2-IVa-1 and G2-IVa-3; P[4]-IVa and P[4]-IVb. As rotavirus vaccination is not widely used in the region because it is not included in the national vaccination calendar in Russia so far, the increase in the number of G2P[4] RVA is likely due to natural strain fluctuations.
