Virus Evolution

  • origin of new strains
  • animal rotavirus role
  • reassortment between strains
  • genetic variation in RV genes

Surveillance goals during and after implementation of vaccine programs?

  • Breakthrough strains that appear after

vaccination

  • Changes in serotype incidence and the

emergence of novel strains with distinct G and P serotypes

  • Circulation of vaccine strains in children
  • Reassortment with wild-type human

rotaviruses, yielding new strains or changes in virulence

Circulation of Vaccine Strains and Reassortment with HRV

  • Rotarix – expect reassortment with natural

RV (P[8]G1, P[8]G9,etc) during mixed infections

– Reassortment in all 11 genes likely

  • Rotateq?
  • Potential to produce new strains with

altered virulence – important surveillance issue

Summary

  • Rotavirus strain surveillance and

characterization studies have played key role in defining serotypes important for vaccines and understanding strain diversity and mechanisms of evolution

  • During and after vaccine programs are

implemented surveillance will be crucial to monitor changes in serotypes and vaccine effectiveness
