Highlights: [•] Rotaviruses with super-short electropherotype have a rearranged NSP5 gene. [•] AU19 was a super-short strain with an unusual G1P[6] genotype. [•] AU19 had a G1-P[6]-I5-R1-C1-M1-A8-N1-T1-E1-H2 genotype constellation. [•] AU19 was probably resulted from interspecies transmission of a porcine rotavirus to a human child. [•] When jumping to humans, AU19 likely acquired a rare H2b genotype by genetic reassortment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
