Seroepidemiology of Human Non‐Species A Rotavirus Infections in Valencia, Spain
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,
