Area of Science:

  • Virology and Epidemiology
  • Public Health and Infectious Diseases
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Rotavirus is a leading cause of severe diarrheal disease in infants and young children globally.
  • The Australian Rotavirus Surveillance Program monitors circulating rotavirus strains and their genotypes.
  • Understanding rotavirus genotype distribution is essential for evaluating vaccine impact and guiding public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the circulating rotavirus G and P genotypes identified in Australia from January 1 to December 31, 2023.
  • To analyze the proportion of wildtype and vaccine-like rotavirus strains.
  • To assess the national and jurisdictional distribution of rotavirus genotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Collection and analysis of 1,942 faecal samples referred for rotavirus G- and P- genotype analysis.
  • Confirmation of rotavirus presence and subsequent G- and P- genotype determination.
  • Categorization of strains into wildtype, vaccine-like (Rotarix), and unusual genotypes.

Main Results:

  • A record 1,781 rotavirus-positive samples were confirmed, the highest in over 20 years.
  • The dominant genotype was G3P[8] (71.9%), including human (42.6%) and equine-like (29.3%) variants.
  • Other notable genotypes included G2P[4] (9.4%) and G12P[8] (6.4%). Vaccine-like strains accounted for 12.7% of positive samples.

Conclusions:

  • The high number of positive samples reflects increased rotavirus disease notifications.
  • Dominance of G3P[8] (human and equine-like) nationally, with regional variations, provides key data for vaccine program assessment.
  • Ongoing surveillance is vital for tracking genotypic shifts, informing public health responses, and ensuring diagnostic quality assurance.
