Genomic analysis of human rotavirus strains G6P[14] and G11P[25] isolated from Kolkata in 2009 reveals interspecies transmission and complex reassortment events

- Community based study revealed incidence of unusual rotaviruses in human children.
- Genome based study indicated bovine and porcine characteristics in those two strains.
- These two strains derived from zoonotic transmission and multiple reassortment.
- Overcrowding, common water-source with domestic animals may lead to interspecies transmission.
