Background Rotavirus A (RVA) and adenovirus (Adv) are important causes of acute diarrhea in children. RVAs are classified into G and P genotypes based on viral proteins (VP)7 and VP4 gene and Adv contains over 70 genotypes based on hexon and fiber gene. This study aimed to characterize the molecular epidemiology of RVA and Adv in children with acute diarrhea during 2017-2018 in Hangzhou. Methods The stool samples were collected and tested for RVA and Adv by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assay. The RVA positive samples were detected by RT-PCR for VP7(G) and VP4([P]) genotypes, and the Adv positive samples were detected by PCR for genotyping by the target to hexon gene. Results Among 228 RVA-positive samples, G9 was detected as the most frequent genotype (195/228, 85.5%), followed by G3 (20/228, 8.8%), G2 (7/228, 3.1%) and G1 (6/228, 2.6%). G9 strains were closely related to strains from China and neighboring countries, as well as the USA. On the other hand, P[8] strains were detected in 219 (96.1%) samples with most closely related to one strain from Malawi, and P[4] in 9 (3.9%) samples. G9P[8] (84.6%, 193/228) was the most prevalent rotavirus A strains, followed by G3P[8] (8.8%, 20/228), G2P[4] (3.1%, 7/228), G1P[8] (2.6%, 6/228) and G9P[4] (0.9%, 2/228). Of 167 Adv-positive cases, 2 different genotypes were identified with 152 (91.0%) of Adv-41and 15 (9%) of Adv-40. All Adv strains were closely related to prototype strains of Adv types 40 and 41 in India. Conclusions G9P[8] of RVA and Adv-41 were the most common genotypes that caused children's acute diarrhea in Hangzhou, 2017-2018.
