A genotype G3P[14] rotavirus strain was identified in a 12 year old child presenting to the EmergencyDepartment of the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, with gastroenteritis. G3P[14] strains have beenpreviously identified in rabbits in Japan, China, the USA and Italy and a single lapine-like strain from achild in Belgium.
Full genome sequence analysis of RVA/Human-wt/AUS/RCH272/2012/G3P[14] (RCH272) revealed thatthe strain contained the novel genome constellation G3-P[14]-I2-R3-C3-M3-A9-N2-T6-E2-H3. The gen-ome was genetically divergent to previously characterized lapine viruses and the genes were distantlyrelated to a range of human bovine-like strains and animal strains of bovine, bat and canine/feline char-acteristics. The VP4, VP6, NSP2, NSP3, NSP4 and NSP5 genes of RCH272 clustered within bovine lineagesin the phylogenetic analysis and shared moderate genetic similarity with an Australian bovine-likehuman strain RVA/Human-tc/AUS/MG6/1993/G6P[14]. Bayesian coalescent analysis suggested thesegenes of RCH272 and RVA/Human-tc/AUS/MG6/1993/G6P[14] were derived from a population of rela-tively homogenous bovine-like ancestral strains circulating between 1943 and 1989. The VP7, VP1,VP2 and NSP1 genes shared moderate genetic similarity with the Chinese strain RVA/Bat-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P[3] and the VP3 gene clustered within a lineage comprised of canine and feline strains.
This strain may represent the direct transmission from an unknown host species or be derived via mul-tiple reassortment events between strains originating from various species. The patient lived in a house-hold containing domesticated cats and dogs and in close proximity to a colony of Gray-headed Flying-foxes. However, without screening numerous animal populations it is not possible to determine the ori-gins of this strain.

1. Introduction
Group A rotavirus infection causes 114 million episodes of diar-rhea annually, resulting in 24 million clinic visits and 2.4 millionhospitalizations (Glass et al., 2006). The majority of the 453,000

annual deaths due to rotavirus infection occur in developing coun-tries of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa (Tate et al., 2012).
Rotavirus (Reoviridae virus family) is a non-enveloped viruswith a genome comprised of 11 segments of double strandedRNA (dsRNA), encoding six structural viral proteins (VP1-4, VP6,VP7) and six non-structural proteins (NSP1-5/6) (Estes andKapikian, 2007). Rotavirus strains can be classified into eightgroups (Group A–H) based on genetic characteristics of the innercapsid protein (VP6), with group A strains the most common causeof symptomatic disease in humans (Matthijnssens et al., 2012). Awhole genome classification system assigns genotypes to each

gene. The nomenclature Gx-P[x]-Ix-Rx-Cx-Mx-Ax-Nx-Tx-Ex-Hxrepresents the genotypes of the genes encoding VP7-VP4-VP6-VP1-VP2-VP3-NSP1-NSP2-NSP3-NSP4-NSP5/6 respectively. Cur-rently 27 G, 37 P, 17 I, 9 R, 9 C, 8 M, 18 A, 10 N, 12 T, 15 E and11 H genotypes have been described (Guo et al., 2012; Jere et al.,2013; Papp et al., 2012; Trojnar et al., 2013). The genotype classi-fication system based on the two outer capsid proteins VP7 andVP4, is the most widely used scheme in molecular epidemiologyand surveillance programs (Estes and Kapikian, 2007).
Zoonotic transmission increases the genetic diversity within thepopulation of rotavirus strains causing human infection and thesegmented rotavirus genome facilitates reassortment betweenstrains (Ramig and Ward, 1991; Taniguchi and Urasawa, 1995).Strains bearing mixed genome constellations derived from bothhuman and animal viruses are detected more commonly thanstrains possessing a genome only derived from animal viruses, sug-gesting a better adaption to the human host (Martella et al., 2010;Matthijnssens et al., 2011).
The Australian Rotavirus Surveillance Program (ARSP) has mon-itored the diversity and distribution of genotypes identified in chil-dren hospitalized with severe gastroenteritis since 1999 (Kirkwoodet al., 2011a). In 2012, the ARSP identified a G3P[14] strain causingacute gastroenteritis in a child. Genotype G3 strains have a broadhost range, including buffalo, cats, cows, dogs, horses, humans,pigs, rabbits, sheep, monkeys and bats in association with numer-ous P genotypes (Matthijnssens et al., 2011). Genotype P[14]strains are predominantly bovine-like, generally associated withVP7 genotype G10, G6 and G8 (Matthijnssens et al., 2011). In Aus-tralia, G10P[14] (n = 6), G8P[14] (n = 4) and G6P[14] zoonotictransmission strains have been identified exhibiting bovine charac-teristics (Cowley et al., 2013; Matthijnssens et al., 2008; Swiateket al., 2010). Seven G3P[14] strains have been reported worldwide,six were identified in rabbits in Japan, China, the USA and Italy(Guo et al., 2012). A human G3P[14] strain identified from a Bel-gian child exhibited an exclusively lapine-like genome constella-tion, suggesting a direct zoonotic transmission (Matthijnssenset al., 2006).
This study describes the full genome characterization of aG3P[14] rotavirus strain identified in a 12 year old Australian childwho presented to hospital with gastroenteritis and milddehydration.

2.2. Clinical history
A 12 year old male presented to the Emergency Department ofthe Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, with a5 day history of acute gastroenteritis. He had non-bloody diarrheawith intermittent emesis. He was afebrile and mildly dehydratedon clinical assessment and was treated with oral fluids and ananti-emetic (ondansetron). No underlying medical conditions werereported; the patient had not been vaccinated against rotavirusand had no history of significant underlying medical conditions.The patient lived in metropolitan Melbourne and had recently trav-elled to regional Western Australia on a family camping holidayprior to disease onset. No family members reported symptoms of

gastroenteritis. The family reported cats and dogs in the familyhome and a colony of Gray-headed Flying-foxes (Pteropus polio-cephalus) present on the property. No contact with cows or rabbitswas reported either at home or whilst camping. Although no directcontact was reported, there was an abundance of wallabies andkangaroos in the campsite.
2.3. Pathology testing
A fecal sample was collected and aliquots were used by the bac-teriology, virology and parasitology pathology testing servicesensuring the optimal detection of pathogens. The sample wastested for the presence of rotavirus antigen by enzyme immunoas-say (RIDASCREEN� (R-biopharm AG)) and was also screened for thepresence of other enteric pathogens including Adenovirus, Enterovi-rus, ova, cysts, parasites, Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, Yer-sinia, Vibrio and shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli by thepathology services at the Royal Children’s Hospital.
2.4. Amplification of 11 rotavirus genes
Fecal suspensions (20% wt/vol) were prepared and RNAextracted using the QIAamp� Viral RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Inc., Hil-den, Germany) as previously described (Cowley et al., 2013). The11 genes were reverse transcribed and amplified by PCR usingthe PrimerScript High Fidelity RT-PCR Kit (Takara, Japan). Briefly,3–5 ll of RNA was denatured at 97 �C for 3 min and quenched onice. RNA was reverse transcribed at 50 �C for 30 min, followed bydenaturation at 94 �C for 2 min. Forty cycles comprised of denatur-ation at 98 �C for 10 s, annealing conditions were dependent onprimer melting temperature (Tm�). For primers with aTm� P 55 �C, 55 �C for 5 s was used, and for primers with aTm� < 55 �C, 50 �C for 15 s was used. An extension at 72 �C for5 min was followed by a final extension of 5 min at 72 �C. The oli-gonucleotide primers used in the amplification of the 11 gene seg-ments are detailed in Supplementary Table 1.
2.5. Nucleotide sequencing
PCR amplicons were excised and purified via gel extraction andspin column purification using the Wizard SV Gel or PCR Clean-UpSystem (Promega, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.Purified DNA together with oligonucleotide primers (detailed inSupplementary Table 1), were sent to the Australian GenomeResearch Facility, Melbourne, and sequenced using an ABI PRISMBigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Reaction Kit (Applied Biosys-tems, Foster City, CA, USA) in an Applied Biosystems 3730xl DNAAnalyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Primer walk-ing was employed to cover the complete sequence of each gene.
2.6. Phylogenetic analysis
The generated electropherograms were visually analyzed andcontiguous DNA sequence files constructed utilizing the Sequen-cher� Software program (version 5.0.1, Gene Codes Corp Inc., AnArbor, MI, USA). Nucleotide similarity searches were performedusing the BLAST server on the GenBank database at the NationalCenter for Biotechnology Information, USA (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of each gene werecompared with sequences available in GenBank possessing theentire open reading frame (ORF). Multiple nucleotide and aminoacid alignments were constructed using the MUSCLE algorithm inthe MEGA5.20 program (Edgar, 2004; Tamura et al., 2011). Nucle-otide and amino acid distance matrixes were calculated using thep-distance algorithm in MEGA5.20 (Tamura et al., 2011). Theoptimal evolutionary model was selected based upon the Akaike

2.7. Determination of time to most recent common ancestor
The time to most common recent ancestor (tMRCA) was calcu-lated using the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)method in the BEAST package (version 1.7.5) (Drummond et al.,2012). Initially, all sequences of the relevant genotype availablein GenBank that possessed the entire ORF were selected for analy-sis. The VP1 (R3), VP2 (C3), VP3 (M3) and NSP1 (A9) gene geno-types comprised a limited number of highly diverse sequenceswhich were not suitable for tMRCA analysis. With the exceptionof VP4, identical sequences were removed. Due to the excessivenumber of sequences in the VP7, NSP2 and NSP4 gene analysis,strains with >99.9% nt similarity from over-represented locationswere removed. The strains comprising each gene dataset aredetailed in Supplementary Data for the VP4 (n = 27, 1986–2012),VP6 (n = 112, 1958–2012), VP7 (n = 151, 1958–2012), NSP2(n = 100, 1965–2012), NSP3 (n = 41, 1965–2012), NSP4 (n = 135,

1973–2012) and NSP5 (n = 60, 1967–2012) genes. The data wasanalyzed utilizing an uncorrelated lognormal relaxed clock usingthe models TN93 + GG4 + I (VP6, NSP5), TN93 + GG4 (VP7, NSP3,NSP4) and GTR + GG4 (NSP2, VP4) determined by AICc ranking injModelTest (Darriba et al., 2012; Drummond et al., 2006;Guindon and Gascuel, 2003; Posada, 2008). A coalescent GaussianMarkov random field (GMRF) Bayesian Skyride tree was used todescribe the demographic history (Drummond et al., 2002; Mininet al., 2008). The MCMC chain was run for 100 million generationswith sampling every 10,000 generations for all genes analyzed,except VP6 and VP7 which were run for 200 million generationswith sampling every 20,000 generations. Convergence wasassessed using the program Tracer (version 1.5.0) (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/tracer/), with an effective sample size of at least200 after the first 10% of chain lengths were discarded as burn-in.The maximum clade credibility was obtained using TreeAnnotator(version 1.7.5) removing the initial 10% of trees as burn-in. Thetime-ordered maximum clade credibility trees were viewed inthe FigTree (version 1.4.0) (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree).
2.8. Assignment of genotypes
The genotypes of each of the 11 genome segments were deter-mined using the online RotaC rotavirus genotyping tool (v2.0,http://rotac.regatools.be).

The VP7 gene of RCH272 shared 78.4–89.2% nucleotide (nt) and87.4–97.8% amino acid (aa) similarity to global G3 strains and washighly divergent to the majority of global human G3 strains.RCH272 was most closely related to the Chinese strain RVA/Bat-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P[3] (Table 1). The 151 VP7 G3 genesincluded in the tMRCA analysis were isolated between 1958–2012 and shared a common ancestral strain circulating in 1924(95% higher posterior density (HPD) 1904–1943) and the majorityof human and animal strains diverged at this point. RCH272 clus-tered within a bovine-like lineage comprised of Indian human,equine and bovine strains and RVA/Bat-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P[3] and these strains shared a common ancestor circulatingin 1959 (95% HPD: 1937–1984) (Fig. 1(a)).
The VP4 gene of RCH272 shared 80.4–96.9% nt and 92.3–98.6%aa similarity to global P[14] strains. RCH272 shared the highestnucleotide similarity to a previously characterized Australianstrain RVA/Human-tc/AUS/MG6/1993/G6P[14] (Table 1). Analysisof partial VP4 ORFs from four Australian G8P[14] strains(RVA/Human-wt/AUS/VG8/2002/G8P[14], RVA/Human-tc/AUS/DG8/1996/G8P[14], RVA/Human-wt/AUS/NTG8/2007/G8P[14] andRVA/Human-wt/AUS/WAG8.2/2003/G8P[14]) identified 94.7–95.7%nt and 95.1–98.7% aa similarity. The 27 VP4 P[14] genes includedin the tMRCA analysis (isolated 1986–2012) shared an commonancestral strain circulating in 1867 (95% HPD 1782–1945). Thelarge range is reflective of the small number of diverse sequencesobtained; suggesting the progenitor strains of some lineages maynot have been identified.

The VP4 gene of RCH272 shared an ancestor strain withtwo Australian strains, RVA/Human-tc/AUS/MG6/1993/G6P[14](1989, 95% HPD 1984–1992) and RVA/Human-wt/AUS/WAG8.1/2002/G8P[14] (1984, 95% HPD 1976–1990). The VP4 gene of theAustralian G10P[14] strains identified in the Northern Territoryand RCH272 shared a common ancestor strain circulating in1928 (95% HPD: 1887–1965).

RCH272 VP1 and VP2 genes shared the highest geneticsimilarity to RVA/Bat-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P[3], these strainsformed distinct lineages in the VP1 and VP2 trees that clusteredclosest to sub-lineages predominantly comprised of humanG3P[3], and G3P[9] strains (Table 1, Fig. 2a and b). The VP3 geneshared 81.8–91.9% nt and 88.5–96.3% aa similarity to strainscomprising the M3 genotype; exhibiting the highest genetic iden-tity to RVA/Human-tc/ISR/Ro1845/1985/G3P[3] (Table 1). RCH272formed a sub-lineage with canine, feline and human zoonoticstrains of canine and feline origins, closely related to a sub-lineagecomprised of a lapine strain and a human lapine-like zoonoticstrain. RVA/Human-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P3 clustered withina separate lineage of the M3 tree (Fig. 2c).

4. Discussion
A G3P[14] strain was identified from a 12 year old Australianchild following a week long history of gastroenteritis. Sequenceanalysis of the strain RCH272 identified a previously unreportedG3-P[14]-I2-R3-C3-M3-A9-N2-T6-E2-H3 genome constellation.Only seven G3P[14] strains have been reported worldwide, six iden-tified in rabbits in Japan, China, the USA and Italy and a humanlapine-like strain (Guo et al., 2012; Matthijnssens et al., 2006). Com-pared to the three complete G3P[14] genomes, RCH272 shared 8/11genotypes with RVA/Human-wt/BEL/B4106/2000/G3P[14] andRVA/Rabbit-tc/ITA/30-96/1996/G3P[14], and 6/11 genotypes withRVA/Rabbit-tc/CHN/N5/1992/G3P[14].

predominantly lapine-like genome constellation, RCH272 sharedrelatively low genetic relatedness to the lapine strains, with theexception of the VP3 and NSP1 genes. Whilst it is unlikely that thestrain RCH272 possesses recent lapine origins it cannot be entirelyruled out as Australian lapine strains are not available forcomparison.
It is possible that RCH272 was derived by multiple reassort-ment events between strains originating in various animal species.The VP7, VP1, VP2 and NSP1 genes shared a moderate genetic rela-tionship with the recently described bat strain, RVA/Bat-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P[3], isolated from a lesser horseshoe bat (Rhinol-ophus hipposideros) in China (He et al., 2013). The VP3 gene pos-sessed canine/feline characteristics and may have originated inanother parental strain. However, numerous genes of RVA/Bat-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P[3] possess canine/feline characteristicsand the VP3 gene may have been derived from the same strainas the bat-like genes.
Bats are an important reservoir for numerous, highly patho-genic, viruses capable of zoonotic transmission including Nipahvirus, Ebola virus, Hendra virus and Lyssaviruses (Smith andWang, 2013). Three diverse rotavirus strains have been identifiedfrom bats, thus it is unknown if they represent true bat strains orinterspecies transmissions (Esona et al., 2010; He et al., 2013; Xiaet al., 2013). The recent identification of two G8P[6] strains in Bra-zilian Indian children which exhibited bovine-like VP7 and VP6

genes and a VP4 gene most similar to the strain RVA/Bat-wt/KEN/KE4852/2007/G25P[6] isolated from a African straw-coloredfruit bat (Eidolon helvum) suggests bats may readily transmitbovine rotavirus strains facilitating reassortment events (Esonaet al., 2010; Luchs and Timenetsky Mdo, 2014).
The VP4, VP6, NSP2, NSP3, NSP4 and NSP5 genes of RCH272were possibly derived from a population of strains related to pre-viously characterized Australian bovine strains and bovine-likehuman zoonotic strains. G6P[14] and G8P[14] strains have beensporadically identified in Australian children during the past twodecades, however, due to the limited sequence data of these strainsit is unknown if they are direct transmissions or reassortant strains(Matthijnssens et al., 2008; Swiatek et al., 2010). The frequentidentification of P[14] rotavirus animal-human zoonotictransmission events, suggests P[14] genes are endemic in the ani-mal rotavirus population and circulating Australia-wide. A recentexample is the artiodactyl-like zoonotic G10P[14] strain detectedin 2012 in the Northern Territory region of Australia (Cowleyet al., 2013). The G10P[14] strain possessed 6/11 genes belongingto the same genotype as RCH272 (Table 1), however, these geneswere genetically divergent suggesting there is a heterogenouspopulation of animal strains circulating in Australia capable ofzoonotic transmission.
Whilst rotavirus strains typically exhibit a degree of hostspecies restriction, P[14] strains are often reported as zoonotic

transmissions (Matthijnssens et al., 2006). Recent structural stud-ies suggest the P[14] glycoprotein is able to bind to the humanA-type histo-blood group antigen (HBGA), potentially enablingP[14] strains to cross species barrier into humans expressing thecognate HBGA antigen (Hu et al., 2012). Whilst the HBGA statusof this patient is unknown, possessing the A-type HBGA may pre-dispose individuals to infection with P[14] strains.
RCH272 is the first report of a G3P[14] strain that does not exhi-bit lapine-like characteristics and the unique genetic composition

of the strain may have resulted in infectivity of an older child.There was no reported transmission of the strain from the childto any close contacts and the strain may not be highly transmissi-ble between humans. It is likely this strain was contracted via zoo-notic transmission and possibly derived via reassortment eventsbetween strains originating from various host species. It is alsopossible the strain represents a direct interspecies transmissionfrom an unidentified host species, possibly a bat given the charac-terized bat strains RVA/Bat-tc/CHN/MSLH14/2011/G3P[3] and

RVA/Bat-wt/KEN/KE4852/2007/G25P[6] possess genes of bovineand canine/feline origins (Esona et al., 2010; He et al., 2013). With-out screening a number of animal populations it is impossible toaccurately determine the host species of this strain. The familyreported cats and dogs in the family home and a colony of batspresent on the property, representing possible sources oftransmission.
There has been an increase in the detection of rare or unusualrotavirus strains in the vaccine-era in Australia (Kirkwood et al.,2011b). The efficacy of Rotarix� has been demonstrated againstfully heterotypic G2P[4] and G9P[4] strains in some settings,however, no efficacy has been shown for Rotarix� or RotaTeq�
against fully heterotypic strains of non-human origins (De Voset al., 2009; Yen et al., 2011). The sustained circulation of strains

that are antigenically distinct to the vaccine strains may challengethe efficacy of vaccination programs in Australia and elsewhere. Ifunusual rotavirus strains become more prevalent in younger chil-dren they may lead to reduced vaccine efficacy. Therefore, contin-ued identification and characterization of novel or unusualgenotypes is vital to ensure an effective vaccine program.
