Methods:
Our primary aim was to examine the disease incidence of rotavirus in
Alberta and characterize seasonality and genotype diversity of
circulating rotavirus, including AGE attributed to RV1 derived strains
detected in our cohort. Secondary objectives include the stratification
of rotavirus infection by participants’ age, vaccination status, and
clinical characteristics of rotavirus gastroenteritis and common
rotavirus genotypes to determine the clinical features associated with
emerging strains.
