This report details the genetic characterisation of a G26P[19] RVA strain detected from an eight year-old child, vaccinated with Rotarix®, hospitalised with acute diarrhoeal disease in Rio de Janeiro in 2015. Most likely, the genome constellation (I5-R1-C1-M1-A8-N1-T1-E1-H1) observed in the G26P[19] Brazilian strain was a result of interspecies transmission events between humans and pigs. In addition, a rearrangement in the NSP5 gene was observed downstream of the 3’ non-coding region.engAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Rotavirus AG26P[19]ReassortmentRearrangementArtigo10.1590/0074-02760180344
