N2 - After rotavirus was discovered in 1973, it became the leading pathogen in causing acute gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing and genomic characterization of a DS-1-like G2P[4] group A rotavirus in feces of a Japanese child with acute gastroenteritis who was fully Rotarix® vaccinated. The genomic investigation determined a genomic constellation G2-P[4]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2 of this rotavirus strain. Its antigenic epitopes of the VP7 and VP4 proteins had significant mismatches compared with the vaccine strains. Our study is the latest attempt to investigate the evolution of the VP7 and VP4 genes of emerging G2P[4] rotavirus in Japan.
