title: Complete genome analysis of a rare human G3P[9] rotavirus posing as an AU-1 like strain.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We performed phylogenetic and sequence analysis by Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) of a complete Human Rotavirus (HRV) genome isolated from a hospitalized child with acute gastroenteritis in Thailand.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results indicated an uncommon strain characterized by multiple re-assortments in the VP3, VP4, VP6, NSP1, NSP4 and NSP5 genes. The uncommon strain is genotype G3-P[9]-I3-R3-C3-M3-A3-N3-T3-E3-H6, which displays aspects of the AU-1, FRV-1 and corresponds to the feline/canine prototype G3P[9] strain.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results suggested that nearly all the eleven gene segments of G3P[9] RVA strain CU365 might have originated from feline/canine RVAs (Rotavirus A).
