Human rotavirus B (RVB), a rare cause of diarrhea in several Asian countries, has been reported to be genetically highly conserved. However, 14 RVB strains with two distinct RNA electropherotypes E1 and E2 (11 and 3 strains, respectively) were detected in adult patients with diarrhea, in Mymensingh in the north-central Bangladesh in 2014. In this study, VP7 gene sequences of all the 14 strains and nearly full-length sequences of all the 11 RNA segments of four RVB (two strains each representing E1 and E2 types) were determined and analyzed phylogenetically. For all the gene segments, sequence identities among strains with the same RNA pattern were higher (99%–100%) than those between strains with different RNA patterns (94–98%). Although all the gene segments of RVB strains were grouped into Indian–Bangladeshi lineage, VP1–3, VP6, VP7, NSP1, NSP2 and NSP5 genes of strains with E1 and E2 types were assigned to distinct sublineages S1 and S2, respectively. E1-strains clustered with Bangladeshi RVB strains reported previously (e.g., Bang117), while E2-strains with those from India (e.g., NIV-1048101), Myanmar, and Nepal. In contrast, VP4, NSP3 and NSP4 genes of both E1 and E2 RVB strains were classified into sublineage S2. These findings indicated that two genetically distinct RVB strains were simultaneously circulating in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. RVB strains with E1 electropherotype were suggested to be reassortants acquiring three gene segments (VP4, NSP3 and NSP4 genes) from the foreign RVB in the genetic background of indigenous Bangladeshi RVB represented by the strain Bang117.
