Abstract
We used the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method to determine the strains of nine non-typeable rotavirus enzyme immunoassay-positive samples, which were identified as G2. We detected nucleotide changes in the primer-binding region and amino acid substitutions within the VP7 protein of the G2 rotavirus strains. Genotyping primers need to be updated regularly.
