Abstract
This study examined the temporal distribution of rotavirus genotypes in Malaysia. Rotaviruses from children with diarrhea admitted to hospitals in 1996 (nโ=โ93) and 2007 (nโ=โ12) in two different regions of Peninsular (West) Malaysia were analyzed for their G and P genotypes using a hemiโnested RTโPCR assay. In the 2007 samples, the dominant strain was G9P[8]. It was identified in 42% of the samples. Different strains all possessing the G1 genotype were identified in the rest of the samples. In contrast, 81% of the samples collected in 1996 were the G1P[8] strain. No strains with G9 genotype were detected in samples collected in 1996. J. Med.
