Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe gastroenteritis in young children worldwide and is responsible for around 100,000 deaths in India annually. Vaccination against rotavirus (RV) is a high priority: ‘ROTAVAC’ an indigenous vaccine will soon be licensed in India. Surveillance to determine the impact of vaccines on emerging RV strains is required. In this study we compared the pattern of RV strains circulating in Delhi over a 5 year period with the strains over the past 12 years. The most commonly detected G genotypes were G1 (22.4%), G2 (17.2%), and G9 (25.2%) with P[4] (25.5%), P[6] (20%) and P[8] (16.9%) specificity. G12 genotype was found to be the fourth common G-type with 14.8% prevalence. Among the G–P combinations; G1P[8], G2P[4], G9P[8] and G12P[6] were detected at 7.2%, 7.2%, 5.2% and 10%, respectively. Of note, G9P[4] and G2P[6] that were rarely detected during 2000–2007 in Delhi …
