... Rotaviruses A and Adenoviruses are among the most commonly recognized causes of epidemic viral acute gastroenteritis worldwide 10 . The Rotavirus A are considered the major etiological agent of acute diarrhea in infants and young children 11 . There is a tendency to seasonality in temperate areas for Rotavirus infection, with peaks occurring predominantly in winter, but outbreaks can occur throughout the year in tropical areas 12,13 . ...

... Acute gastroenteritis is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries such as Nepal [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Usually, gastroenteritis caused by enteric viruses: group A rotaviruses (RVAs), noroviruses (NoVs), astroviruses, and adenoviruses (AdVs) 40 and 41 comprise a significant proportion of gastroenteritis cases in developed as well as in developing countries [7,8]. Enteric viruses are a group of viruses that can cause acute watery diarrhea and are a major threat to human health worldwide [9]. ...

... Continuing viral gastroenteritis surveillance has been conducted in Brazil by the Adolfo Lutz Institute since the 1980's (Timenetsky et al., 1993;Carmona et al., 2006;Morillo et al., 2008;Luchs et al., 2011;Cilli et al., 2011;Morillo et al., 2018;Luchs et al., 2019). Although HAdV have been proven to play an important role in diarrhea disease burden, Brazilian studies aiming to conduct their molecular characterization are unusual even in current times (Gomes et al., 1989;Ferreira et al., 2010;Reis et al., 2016;Costa et al., 2017;Primo et al., 2018;). Moreover, in 2006, Rotarix® vaccine (attenuated monovalent G1P[8] vaccine) was included into the Brazilian's National Immunization Program with a significant impact on the rotavirus disease burden in the country (Carvalho-Costa et al., 2019), and the possibility of emerging enteric pathogens vaccine-induced selective pressure has been speculated, including HAdV (Koo et al., 2013;Primo et al., 2018). ...

... Classical HAstV strains have been the subject of several studies in Brazil since the mid-1990s [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], including studies in which the northern region of the country was treated as a single unit [7,[18][19][20]. However, this seems to be the first molecular study of classical HAstV strains specifically from the state of Tocantins. ...

... Previous studies have shown the importance of HAdV in acute gastroenteritis and its distribution in Brazil in both the pre-and post-RVA vaccine era, but very few of them conducted molecular characterization of HAdV-positive samples [5,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Brazil is a country with continental dimensions with different climatic zones and geographically distinct populations; therefore, a high degree of viral genetic diversity is expected to be found in this country. ...

... Studies conducted in the Brazilian Mid-West have shown a temporal variation in the predominance of certain G and P genotypes, characterizing the occurrence of an antigenic shift (Cardoso et al., 2000, Souza et al., 2003, Costa et al., 2004, Andreasi et al., 2007, Munford et al., 2009, Borges et al., 2011, Almeida et al., 2015. ...

... The most common G types detected are G1, G2, G3, G4 and G9, while in P typing P [4], P [6] and P [8] are the most frequently isolated. 7 ...
