Group C Rotavirus Detected in Infantile Diarrhea in Shashi
Abstract: 165 stool samples were collected from infants and young children with acute diarrhea in Shashi from 1987 to 1988.37 strains of rotavirus were detected by RNA-PAGE, among them 3 strains were unusual rotavirus. The virus is morphologically identical to conventional rotavirus and lacks the group-specific antigen of group A and group B rotavirus. Genome analysis showed that the genome of the virus was composed of 11 double-stranded RNA segments, but the RNA electrophoretic pattern was 4: 3: 2: 2.The results sho...
