Incidence and clinical characteristics of group A rotavirus infections among children admitted to hospital in Kilifi, Kenya. [PDF]
BackgroundRotavirus, predominantly of group A, is a major cause of severe diarrhoea worldwide, with the greatest burden falling on young children living in less-developed countries. Vaccines directed against this virus have shown promise in recent trials,

Rotavirus, the most common diarrheal pathogen in children worldwide, causes approximately one third of diarrhea-associated hospitalizations and 800,000 deaths per year. Because natural infection reduces the incidence and severity of subsequent episodes, rotavirus diarrhea might be controlled through vaccination.

Household Transmission of Rotavirus in a Community with Rotavirus Vaccination in Quininde, Ecuador [PDF]
Background: We studied the transmission of rotavirus infection in households in peri-urban Ecuador in the vaccination era. Methods: Stool samples were collected from household contacts of child rotavirus cases, diarrhea controls and healthy controls ...

Serological survey of anti-group A rotavirus IgM in UK adults [PDF]
Rotaviral associated disease of infants in the UK is seasonal and infection in adults not uncommon but the relationship between these has been little explored.

ABSTRACTRotaviruses (RV) are ubiquitous, highly infectious, segmented double-stranded RNA genome viruses of importance in public health because of the severe acute gastroenteritis they cause in young children and many animal species. They are very well adapted to their host, with symptomatic and asymptomatic reinfections being virtually universal ...

Cattle develop neutralizing antibodies to rotavirus serotypes which could not be isolated from faeces of symptomatic calves [PDF]
Neutralizing antibodies against 10 serotypes of rotavirus were measured in sera from different age groups of German cattle. Only five of 143 sera did not neutralize heterologous serotypes.

Rotavirus infections and climate variability in Dhaka, Bangladesh: a time-series analysis. [PDF]
Attempts to explain the clear seasonality of rotavirus infections have been made by relating disease incidence to climate factors; however, few studies have disentangled the effects of weather from other factors that might cause seasonality.

Antigenic and biochemical characterization of bovine rotavirus V1005, a new member of rotavirus serotype 10 [PDF]
Bovine rotavirus (BRV) V1005 is serologically distinct from rotavirus serotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. BRV V1005 showed cross-reactions with BRV B223, the American prototype of serotype 10 rotavirus, and with BRV E4049, a British serotype 10 isolate.

Discovery and Prevalence of Divergent RNA Viruses in European Field Voles and Rabbits
The advent of unbiased metagenomic virus discovery has revolutionized studies of virus biodiversity and evolution. Despite this, our knowledge of the virosphere, including in mammalian species, remains limited.
