Rotavirus genotypes circulating in Brazil before national rotavirus vaccination: A review

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2008
Rotavirus vaccine was recently introduced in Brazil, which has the potential to greatly reduce childhood deaths from diarrhoea. To provide baseline data to assess the effect of mass rotavirus vaccination on the ecology of circulating rotavirus strains, we systematically analysed published studies in the pre-vaccine era.To describe the distribution of ...

Characterisation of a rotavirus

Nature, 1975
ACUTE gastroenteritis is one of the most common causes of illness in children, calves and piglets, and causes severe economic loss in domestic animals. Although some outbreaks of gastroenteritis are associated with bacterial pathogens, particularly Escherichia coli, no known pathogens had been isolated from a significant proportion of outbreaks until ...

A rotavirus in lambs with diarrhoea

Research in Veterinary Science, 1976
A reovirus-like agent was identified from an outbreak of enteritis in young lambs. From its morphology and immunological relationship with calf rotavirus, it was concluded that it was a rotavirus which infects lambs.

Rotavirus Infection in a Geriatric Population

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1982
An outbreak of gastroenteritis affected 19 of 34 geriatric patients and four of 23 staff assigned to the ward in a period of 3 1/2 weeks in January 1980. Fourteen of the 19 patients with gastroenteritis (17 were tested properly) and four of the ten asymptomatic patients (five asymptomatic patients were not tested) showed evidence of rotavirus infection

A clinical study of rotavirus gastroenteritis

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1978
IN 1973, Bishop and her colleagues' described the presence of viral particles in intestinal biopsies of children with acute gastroenteritis. Subsequently, the same particles were found in the stools of these children, but not in those of controls.' Since then, these viruses (which we shall call rotaviruses although other names have been suggested ...

A morphological study of human rotavirus

Archives of Virology, 1979
Human rotavirus has a characteristic icosahedral structure which has a honeycomb-like appearance on the surface of the smooth particles and 42 polygonal capsomeres in the rough particles.

Nosocomial Rotavirus in a Pediatric Hospital

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2001
AbstractWe describe a nosocomial rotavirus outbreak among pediatric cardiology patients and the impact of a prospective, laboratory-based surveillance program for rotavirus in our university-affiliated, quartenary-care pediatric hospital in New York City.

Towards a human rotavirus disease model

Current Opinion in Virology, 2012
While the clinical importance of human rotavirus (RV) disease is well recognized and potent vaccines have been developed, our understanding of how human RV causes diarrhoea, vomiting and death remains unresolved. The fact that oral rehydration corrects electrolyte and water loss, indicates that enterocytes in the small intestine have a functional ...

Characterization of a Group D Rotavirus

Avian Diseases, 1993
A rotavirus isolated from the intestinal contents of commercial ring-neck pheasant chicks was determined to be a group D rotavirus based on its RNA electropherotype and its serologic relatedness to known turkey group A and D rotaviruses using immune electron microscopy and agar-gel immunodiffusion assays.
