Summary
Human rotavirus VP4P[14] strains were previously recovered in South Africa [18]. The strains exhibited a long RNA pattern, VP6 subgroup II and VP7 serotype G1. Two of the VP8* genes were cloned and sequenced and demonstrated a high nucleotide homology with the prototype P[14] strains (PAff169 and HAL1166).
