Rotavirus infections are the most common causes of infectious diarrhea in young children worldwide. We performed a genotyping of rotavirus strains by RT-PCR for G (VP7) and P (VP4), in Anadara tuberculosa, Lactuca sativa and feces samples of children with diarrhea collected in Panama. Combinations of genotypes G (VP7) and P (VP4) were identified in Anadara tuberculosa: 30 (15%) corresponding to G12P[8], 26 (13%) to G12P[6], 28 (14%) to G1P[8], 7 (3.5%) to G2P [6]. Lactuca sativa: 42 (18%) corresponding to G12P[8], 33 (14%) to G1P[8]. In feces of children with diarrhea: 39 (13%) corresponding to G12P[8], 14 (4.6%) to G9P[8], 12 (4%) to G12P[6], 2 (0.6%) to G2P[x], 1(0.3%) to G3P[8], 6(2%) to G2P[4] were identified. This research represents the first report of rotavirus strains identified in Anadara tuberculosa and Lactuca sativa in Panama and the Central American region.
