Abstract
Since 2013, there has been an increase in reports of the spread of a double intergroup reassortant strain of rotavirus type A (RVA) with the genotype G3P[8] and other genes belonging to the second genogroup I2-R2-C2-M2-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2. In our study, we provide a molecular genetic characterization of rotaviruses with genotype G3P[8]-I2 isolated in Nizhny Novgorod. In our study, we used RT-PCR, Sanger sequencing, RNA-PAGE methods. Phylogenetic and phylodynamic analysis were performed using the Bayesian approach. According to our study, there was a significant increase in the proportion of G3P[8] from 15% during the period of 2020-2021 to 53% during the period of 2021-2022 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Phylogenetic analysis based on the VP4 gene revealed that DS-1-like RVAs isolated in Nizhny Novgorod belong to different clusters of the P[8]-3.1 lineage, with a level of variation ranging from 1.1% to 1.3%. Based on the VP6 gene, the equine-like RVAs identified by us carry genetic variants belonging to three distinct clusters of the lineage I2-V, with a variation level ranging from 2.0% to 4.5%. These data indicate the genotypic diversity of circulating DS-1-like G3 RVAs. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 gene allowed us to assign the isolates identified in our study to the G3-1 lineage. We estimated that the circulation of the most recent common ancestor of the spreading strains dates back to 2002. Additionally, we determined the typical level of mutations in the VP7 gene, which amounted to 2.14*10-3 substitutions/per site/per year.

Abstract
Reassortant DS-1-like rotavirus A strains have been shown to circulate widely in many countries around the world. In Russia, the prevalence of such strains remains unclear due to the preferred use of the traditional binary classification system. In this work, we obtained partial sequence data from all 11 genome segments and determined the full-genotype constellations of rare and reassortant rotaviruses circulating in Nizhny Novgorod in 2016-2019. DS-1-like G3P[8] and G8P[8] strains were found, reflecting the global trend. Most likely, these strains were introduced into the territory of Russia from other countries but subsequently underwent further evolutionary changes locally. G3P[8], G9P[8], and G12P[8] Wa-like strains of subgenotypic lineages that are unusual for the territory of Russia were also identified. Reassortant G2P[8], G4P[4], and G9P[4] strains with one Wa-like gene (VP4 or VP7) on a DS-1-like backbone were found, and these apparently had a local origin. Feline-like G3P[9] and G6P[9] strains were found to be phylogenetically close to BA222 isolated from a cat in Italy but carried some traces of reassortment with human strains from Russia and other countries. Thus, full-genotype determination of rotavirus A strains in Nizhny Novgorod has clarified some questions related to their origin and evolution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Russia, rotavirus A is the main cause of severe viral gastroenteritis in young children. The molecular features that allow a rotavirus of a particular genotype to gain an evolutionary advantage remain unclear, therefore, the study of the genetic diversity of rotaviruses based on genes encoding nonstructural proteins (NSPs) responsible for the reproduction of the virus in the cell is an urgent task. OBJECTIVE To study the genetic diversity of rotaviruses of genotype G9P[8], which dominated Nizhny Novgorod in 20112020, based on genes encoding nonstructural proteins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rotavirus-positive samples were subjected to PCR-genotyping and sequencing of NSP1 NSP5 genes. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out in the MEGA X program. RESULTS In the period 20112020, G9P[8] rotaviruses with four variants of the NSP2 gene were co-circulating in Nizhny Novgorod. New alleles were noted in 2012 (N1-a-III), 2016 (N1-a-IV) and in 2019 (N1-a-II). The appearance of new variants of other genes occurred in 2014 (E1-3, NSP4), 2018 (T1-a3-III, NSP3) and in 2019 (A1-b-II, NSP1). NSP2 gene had the most variable amino acid sequence (16 substitutions), 2 to 7 substitutions were observed in NSP1, NSP3 and NSP4, NSP5 was conservative. DISCUSSION The results obtained are consistent with the literature data and indicate the participation of NSP genes in maintaining the heterogeneity of the rotavirus population. CONCLUSION Until 2018, the genetic diversity of rotaviruses in Nizhny Novgorod was determined by the circulation of strains carrying several alleles of the NSP2 gene and conservative genes NSP1, NSP3NSP5. By the end of the study period, new variants of the genotype G9P[8] were formed in the population, carrying previously unknown combinations of alleles of nonstructural genes.

Abstract
Rotaviruses can infect multiple animal species and have the potential for cross-recombination based on the segmented genome characteristics. To study the intra-host recombination and zoonotic potential of group A canine rotavirus (CRV), 438 samples were collected from domestic dogs in six animal hospitals and from stray dogs from October 2019 to May 2021 in Wuhan, China. Seven of the samples were positive (7/438) for group A CRV from which a CRV strain was successfully isolated in MA-104 cells. The genotype of the isolated strain was characterized by whole-genome sequencing showing that the genotype was group A CRV G3P[3]. According to the Rotavirus Classification Working Group (RCWG), the genomic constellation of the isolated CRV was G3-P[3]-I3-R3-C3-M3-A9-N2-T3-E3-H6, which belongs to the AU-1-like group with gene segments of AU-1-like and Cat 97-like strains. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of the 11 gene segments, we found that the different segments of the isolated group A CRV were closely related to several reassortment rotaviruses from different animal sources and bat strains. Based on the analysis of the molecular evolution and genetic characteristics, we concluded that the isolated strain might be a reassortment strain. These data further enrich our understanding of rotavirus molecular evolution and genetic characteristics in China.
