Table 3 A-B Comparison of G12P[8] rotavirus strains with P[8] vaccine components of Rotarix and RotaTeq and other recent strains representing the P[8] lineages within the VP8* antigenic epitopes (defined in references [47, 50]). Amino acids substitutions within the studied strains are bolded and * indicates the amino acid is conserved
