Rotavirus antigenemia in children is associated with viremia.

PLoS Medicine, 2007
BackgroundAntigenemia is commonly detected in rotavirus-infected children. Although rotavirus RNA has been detected in serum, definitive proof of rotavirus viremia has not been shown.

An Ensemble Approach to Predicting the Impact of Vaccination on Rotavirus Disease in Niger [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Recently developed vaccines provide a new way of controlling rotavirus in sub-Saharan Africa. Models for the transmission dynamics of rotavirus are critical both for estimating current burden from imperfect surveillance and for assessing potential effects of vaccine intervention strategies.

Cranial ultrasound in neonatal brain infections

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection of the neonatal central nervous system (CNS) can cause irreversible brain damage. Cranial ultrasound is an important neuroimaging modality in the neonatal period for detecting brain injury. Several types of organism can cause neonatal CNS infection.

Emergence of a novel equine-like G3P[8] inter-genogroup reassortant rotavirus strain associated with gastroenteritis in Australian children.

Journal of General Virology, 2016
During 2013, a novel equine-like G3P[8] rotavirus emerged as the dominant strain in Australian children with severe rotavirus gastroenteritis. Full genome analysis demonstrated that the strain was an inter-genogroup reassortant, containing an equine-like

Group A Rotavirus NSP4 is Under Negative Selective Pressure [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Rotavirus (RV) is the major etiologic agent of severe infantile gastroenteritis; its genome has 11 segments of double stranded RNA, encoding 12 proteins. The non-structural protein 4 (NSP4) encoded by segment 10 is multifunctional. The aim of this study is to analyze the selective pressure driving the NSP4 of RV, through the ratio of non-synonymous ...

Mare colostrum quality and relationship with foal serum immunoglobulin G concentrations and average daily weight gains

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Foals suffer from total failure to transfer passive immunity (TFTPI) when serum immunoglobulin (IgG) is <4 g/L, and partial failure to transfer passive immunity (PFTPI) when serum IgG is 4–8 g/L. Objectives To explore risk factors for poor serum IgG concentration. Study design Retrospective observational study. Methods Data from 535
