Abstract

Globally, rotavirus C (RVC) causes diarrhoeal outbreaks, mainly in swine, with sporadic incidents in human, bovine, and canine populations. In this study, two human RVC strains, RVC/Human-wt/KOR/CAU13-1-77/2013 and RVC/Human-wt/KOR/CAU14-1-242/2014, were isolated in South Korea, and their complete genome sequences were compared with those of other human- and animal-origin RVC strains found worldwide. Genetic analysis revealed that these viruses have a G4-P[2]-I2-R2-C2-M3-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2 genotype constellation. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these Korean RVC strains belong to the M3 lineage of the VP3 gene in human RVC from Japan and China and porcine RVC from Japan. These results suggest that RVC circulates in northeast Asia in both the human and porcine populations. These results also provide evidence of interspecies RVC reassortment events.
