## Abstract The circulation of the unusual P[9]G12 strains was previously reported in suburban Buenos Aires, Argentina and in Far Eastern Asian countries. To examine genetic relationships of these strains the genes coding VP7, VP4, and NSP1 from two Argentine, one Japanese and one Korean P[9]G12 is

Abstract
Two G12 human rotavirus strains, CP727 and CP1030, were isolated from the respective diarrheic stools of an infant and an adult in Japan. VP7 gene sequences of strains CP727 and CP1030 showed high identity with that of the G12 prototype strain L26, and with those of G12 strains reported recently from Thailand, the United States, and India. VP4 gene sequences of strains CP727 and CP1030 showed the highest identity with those of P[9] rotaviruses. In Northern blot hybridization, strains CP727 and CP1030 were found to be closely related to strain AUβ1 (G3P[9]); nine RNA segments hybridized to each other. Moreover, all segments each of the two Japanese G12 strains hybridized to those of the Thai G12 strain T152. These results suggest that Japanese G12 strains detected in this study are reassortants between a L26βlike strain and a strain in the AUβ1 genogroup. A similar reassortant was found in the Thai G12 strain T152. J. Med. Virol. 73:612β616, 2004. Β© 2004 WileyβLiss, Inc.
