    Abstract:
    The Group A rotavirus (RVA) P[10] is a rare genotype of the RVA VP4 gene. To date, the whole genome sequence of only a single P[10] RVA strain, RVA/Human-tc/IDN/69M/1980/G8P4[10], has been determined, revealing a DS-1-like genotype constellation. Whole genomic analyses of P[10] RVA strains with other VP7 genotypes are essential to obtain conclusive data on the origin and genetic diversity of the P10] RVAs. In the present study, the whole genome of a human G4P[10] RVA strain, RVA/Human-tc/IDN/57M/1980/G4P[10], was analyzed. Strain 57M exhibited an unusual G4-P[10]-I1-R1-C1-M1-A1-N1-T2-E1-H2 genotype constellation, and was found to originate from intergenogroup reassortment events involving acquisition of RVA strain 69M-like VP4, NSP3 and NSP5 genes by a co-circulating Wa-like human G4 RVA strain. Although the reference P[10] strain, 69M, exhibits a DS-1-like genotype constellation, the exact origin of this RVA remains to be elucidated. By detailed phylogenetic analyses, we found that the VP1-VP3, VP6, NSP2 and NSP4 genes of 69M originated from artiodactyl and/or artiodactyl-like human P[14] strains, whilst its NSP1, NSP3 and NSP5 genes were more related to those of typical human DS-1-like strains than those of other RVAs. On the other hand, the origin of the VP4 gene of 69M could not be established. Nevertheless, these observations clearly indicated that strain 69M might have originated from reassortment events involving at least the artiodactyl or artiodactyl-like human RVAs and the typical human DS-1-like strains. The present study provided rare evidence for intergenogroup reassortment events involving co-circulating typical human Wa-like RVAs and unusual RVAs of the DS-1-like genogroup, and revealed the presence of artiodactyl-like genes in a human P[10] strain, highlighting the complex evolutionary patterns of the P[10] RVAs.
