Comparative analysis of the Rotarix™ vaccine strain and G1P[8] rotaviruses

G1P[8] rotaviruses are responsible for the majority of human rotavirus infections worldwide. However, the effect of universal mass vaccination with rotavirus vaccines on circulating G1P[8] rotaviruses is still poorly understood. New genomic research shows the possible impact of vaccination at the strain level for the first time.
