The burden of rotavirus infections greatly affects the low-income African countries. In the absence of epidemiological data on pediatric diarrhea in S?o Tomé and Príncipe (STP), a study was conducted from August to December 2011. Rotavirus antigen was detected in 36.7?% of the collected fecal samples (87/237). G8P[6] was identified as the predominant genotype (71.1?% detection rate), while G1P[8] represented only 8.4?%. Phylogenetic analysis of VP7 G8 strains showed clustering within lineage G8d, while VP4 P[6] strains clustered within lineage 1a. Our results represent the first report on rotavirus from STP and show one of the highest detection rates of G8 rotaviruses worldwide.
