0 an infectious virus that makes people, especially children, have diarrhoea (= waste from the body that is more liquid than usual) --
The results suggest that breast feeding is protective against gastro-enteritis with rotavirus.
The other viral outbreaks (rotavirus and adenovirus) were all transmitted by person-toperson contact.
Of all specimens sent from patients with a primary diagnosis of diarrhoea, 37 % were positive for rotavirus.
Rapid diagnosis of rotavirus infection by the direct detection of viral nucleic acid in silver stained polyacrylamide gels.
Improved detection of rotavirus shedding by polymerase chain-reaction.
Evidence that a novel rotavirus like agent of rats can cause gastroenteritis in man.
The children who acquired rotavirus infection during their hospital stay comprised less than 7 % of the sample.
This large proportion of intussusception-associated hospitalizations should be given attention, when the overall attributable risk of rotavirus vaccines for inducing intussusception is addressed.
