Detection and Characterization of Novel Rotavirus Strains in the United States

Surveillance of rotavirus strains was first established in the United States in 1987, through the analysis of G and P types of isolates obtained in seven sentinel locations, mostly during multiple consecutive rotavirus seasons extending from 1987 to 1993 (4, 14). Subsequently, this initial surveillance was expanded to 37 centers participating in a system of national reporting on year-round rotavirus activity in order to assess geographic and temporal trends, but without monitoring strain types (8, 15).
