A first report of rotavirus B from Zambian pigs leading to the discovery of a novel VP4 genotype P[9]
This current study updates the geographical distribution and the genetic diversity of RVB. Given the lack of information regarding RVB in Africa, further RVB surveillance is required to assess the potential risk to humans and animals.
