period October-December in 2014 and2015-2016 after introduction of rotavirus vaccination.
Methods: In total, 17546 stool specimens testing for the presence of rotavirus antigen by EIA was performed by using
the Prospect Rotavirus Kit (Oxoid Ltd.UK). In total 318 EIA positive samples were randomly selected and genotyped
by using one-step conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RT-PCR was performed
using a Qiagen One-Step RT-PCR kit (Qiagen, Inc., Valencia, CA) and Rotavirus Genotyping Oligonucleotide
Primers (CDC, Atlanta).
