Resumo
The G genotyping of 74 group A rotavirus samples was done by RNA-
DNA hybridization (dot-blot) using oligonucleotide probes for the
VP7 gene region of the human rotavirus serotypes/genotypes 1, 2, 3
and 4. Thirty-one samples could be genotyped by dot-blot showing the
following results: G1 = 16, G4 = 6, G3 = 5, and G2 = 4. The data show
circulation of genotypes G1-G4 and the predominance of G1. The
knowledge of genotypes provides important information concerning
rotavirus circulation in Central Brazil.
