Enteric human adenovirus(HAdV),a common cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in children,frequently triggers spo-radic infections,nosocomial transmissions,and outbreaks in kindergarten settings.This study was aimed at investigating the molecular characteristics and genetic evolution of enteric HAdV among patients with acute gastroenteritis younger than 5 years in China,to pro-vide foundational data for disease prevention and control.A total of 8 074 stool samples were collected from hospitalized or outpatient children younger than 5 years with acute gastroenteritis in China during 2023.HAdV screening was conducted with real-time fluores-cence PCR.Positive samples were sequenced,then subjected to bioinformatics analysis including genotyping,homology assessment,and phylogenetic analysis with GenBank,BioAider,and MEGA11.0.A total of 370 samples(4.58%)tested positive for HAdV.Two enteric HAdV genotypes were identified:HAdV-F41(which predominated,at 98.09%)and HAdV-F40(1.90%).HAdV-F41 was the dominant genotype among patients with acute gastroenteritis younger than 5 years in China.Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the predominant HAdV lineages in China were lineage 1 and 2,whereas European lineage 3 showed no influence.Systematic and long-term surveillance of HAdV should help elucidate its diversity and evolutionary patterns in China,thereby providing scientific evi-dence for developing more effective prevention strategies.

This study investigated the full-genome molecular characteristics of a rotavirus vaccine-derived strain,G1P[8]geno-type A group rotavirus RVA/Human-wt/CHN/HN1140/2021/G1P[8](referred to as HN1140).The gene fragments of the HN1140 strain were amplified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)combined with whole-genome primers to obtain the full genome sequence.Genotyping was performed with the online genotyping tool RotaC 2.0,and similarity and genetic evolution analyses for each gene segment were conducted in DNAstar5.1 and MEGA11.0 software.The genotype of the HN1140 strain was deter-mined to be G1-P[8]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that all 11 genomic segments clus-tered closely with the RotaTeq vaccine strains,sharing 99.7%-100%nucleotide sequence similarity.Notably,VP1,VP2,VP6,and NSP2-NSP5 segments showed 100%nucleotide identity with RotaTeq strains.Comparative genomic analysis identified 13 nucleotide and 8 amino acid substitutions between HN1140 and RotaTeq strains,localized within the VP7,VP4,VP1,VP2,VP3,and NSP1 segments.The HN1140 strain exhibited the genotype G1-P[8]-A3-T6-H3,which was consistent with the typical profile of a vaccine-derived reassortant.This strain demonstrated high genetic similarity to RotaTeq vaccine strains,with nucleotide sequence identity ranging from 99.7%to 100%.These findings suggested that HN1140 evolved from RotaTeq vaccine strains through genetic reassortment.
