Abstract
⺠Few studies have characterized rotavirus in rural areas of Africa. ⺠Our results showed high prevalence of unusual G6P[6] genotype in rural areas of Burkina Faso. ⺠Sequencing of VP4 and VP7 genes demonstrated high diversity within the P-genotypes. ⺠Detection of a rare G8P[6] genotype for the first time in Burkina Faso. ⺠The emergence and high prevalence unusual RV strains could have implications for vaccine efficacy.
