G1P[8] rotaviruses are predominant in causing diarrheal infections in humans all over the world. This study reports the analysis of complete genomes of G1P[8] strains, two each recovered from Rotarix™ vaccine recipients and non‐recipients hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis in Pune, western India. All four strains showed a genogroup‐1 backbone with intra‐genotypic diversity in the VP7 and VP4 gene segments and a homogeneous constellation of the internal gene segments. A divergence in the range of 1.4‐17.3% from Rotarix™ vaccine strain was revealed by structural and non‐structural genes of the strains at nucleotide and amino acid level. These data reflect ability of such G1P[8] strains to cause rotavirus infections in humans.
