G8 bovine group A rotavirus was the most predominant serotype in calf diarrheal fecal specimens examined between 1995 and 1996 in Japan [Vet. Microbiol. 66 (1999) 301]. To date, no evidence that G8 was the most predominant in the typeable specimens has been observed outside Japan. To investigate whether G8 continues to be as common as G6 and G10, the incidence of the main serotypes was determined in the same area (Kagoshima prefecture) between 1997 and 1998 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. From a total of 104 rotavirus-positive specimens, we successfully identified G type in 79 (76.0%) and P type in 71 (68.3%). The combination of G and P types varied periodically; in 1995, G10P[11] was most common. The most predominant types changed drastically in 1996, and G8 and mixed P types were the most predominant. A dramatic shift of the most predominant type occurred again in 1997 when G6P[5] was most common. This frequency of G6P[5] also continued in 1998. These results suggest that the serotypes prevailing in certain areas change periodically.
