Characterization of 49 rotavirus-positive stool specimens from
children with diarrhea in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1996 and 1997 revealed a great diversity of rotavirus G types. Conventional
types G1 and G3 accounted for 27 and 12% of the infections, respectively, whereas 60% of the infections were caused by
unconventional types G5 (25%), G10 (16%), and G8 (4%) and mixed G
types (16%).
