Shift in genomic molecular patterns of human rotaviruses over an eighteen-month period in Hungary.

Rotavirus electropherotypes of 103 fecal samples collected from children for 18 months in Baranya County, Hungary, revealed seven different patterns. Two electropherotypes were predominant and a clear shift was evident in their occurrence. The results provide the first evidence of a shift in the prevalence of electropherotyping variants in Hungary.
