血清型G9可能是继血清型G1至G4之后的第五种最常见的人类轮状病毒血清型。在三项儿童腹泻的横断面研究中，我们在利比亚、肯尼亚和古巴首次检测到血清型G9轮状病毒。血清型G9占所有鉴定的轮状病毒的27%，强调了血清型G9的重新出现，并表明未来的人轮状病毒疫苗将需要预防由该血清型引起的疾病。
Serotype G9 may be the fifth most common human rotavirus serotype, after serotypes G1 to G4. In three cross-sectional studies of childhood diarrhea, we have detected serotype G9 rotaviruses for the first time in Libya, Kenya, and Cuba. Serotype G9 constituted 27% of all rotaviruses identified, emphasizing the reemergence of serotype G9 and suggesting that future human rotavirus vaccines will need to protect against disease caused by this serotype.
