Histo-Blood Group Antigen Phenotype Determines Susceptibility to Genotype-Specific Rotavirus Infections and Impacts Measures of Rotavirus Vaccine Efficacy. [PDF]
Background Lewis and secretor histo–blood group antigens (HBGAs) have been associated with decreased susceptibility to P[8] genotype rotavirus (RV) infections.

Seroepidemiology of Human Non-Species A Rotavirus Infections in Valencia, Spain. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Species A rotavirus (RVA) is a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in children. However, three other rotavirus species (RVB, RVC, and RVH) are also able to infect humans. It has been suggested that vaccination against RVA could facilitate an increase of non‐A rotavirus infections. We investigated the antibody prevalence against RVA, RVB, RVC,

Rotavirus P[8] Infections in Persons with Secretor and Nonsecretor Phenotypes, Tunisia
To determine whether rotavirus infections are linked to secretor status, we studied samples from children in Tunisia with gastroenteritis. We phenotyped saliva for human blood group antigens and tested feces for rotavirus.

Ecological analysis of social risk factors for Rotavirus infections in Berlin, Germany, 2007–2009
BackgroundSocioeconomic factors are increasingly recognised as related to health inequalities in Germany and are also identified as important contributing factors for an increased risk of acquiring infections. The aim of the present study was to describe

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...
