Studies on the Small Round Virus--like Agent of Causing Neonatal Acute Gastroenteritis
Abstract: Out of 33 neonates with acute gastroenteritis, 12(36.4%) were detected tohave virus-like particles by electron microscopy once agian. The small roundvirus-like agent(SRV)was found in 11(33.3%)samples. In one sample other vi-rus-like particle was found. The SRV was confirmed to cause this neonatalacute gastroenteritis by ultrathin section and immune electron microscopy (IEM).The SRV was measured 26 nm in diameter and showed fine spiky structureon the surface. The buoyant density of SRV was determined to be 1...
